Debates about creation often come with high emotions, and to some extent this makes sense. Many of the issues surrounding creation, evolution, the early chapters of Genesis, the age of the earth, the historicity of Adam and Eve, etc., have profound implications in a...
Evolutionists often interpret any beneficial mutation as evidence that Darwinism is true. After all, aren't beneficial mutations all that is required for Darwinian evolution to occur? So long as there are occasional beneficial mutations (and a process like natural...
Because the term "evolution" can be used in more than one way, and conversations on Darwin's theory can be confused by moving back and forth between more than one definition of the word, many people find it helpful to make a distinction between "microevolution" (small...
