    8,000 species of termites survived the flood, implying that Noah had them on his wooden boat. Of course, Noah is an idiot.

      From my understanding creationists do believe in evolution on a micro level. Meaning a species can evolve a little bit to fit a particular niche. They just don’t believe in evolution on a macro level, meaning like how the surviving dinosaurs evolved into birds as we know it today, or hippos and whales sharing a common ancestor.

          Yes. They focus on there being different prefixes as if that implies there is a different mechanism going on, rather than gradual changes pushing organisms to be more and more different over extremely long periods of time.

          Well, I guess it really isn’t double think depending on how you wanna define double think. It’s more that they insist or misunderstand that macro evolution is not a different set of processes.
