Creationists agree with evolutionists about natural selection and adaptation. This has been observed. However, any creationist with any sort of biology or zoology background will be able to tell you that natural selection, speciation, and adaption are quite different from evolution.

If I were to show these people eggs, flour, butter, etc and then mix them all up and bake a cake out of them, they would probably concede that all the ingredients did still exist, but that the cake itself was just an imaginary construct around them, and that the delicious cake-like sensation was actually provided by some kind of divine force, and in no way actually indicated the presence of a cake.
Cheapthrills - no, we cannot eat the cake, we must merely have it. Otherwise we would reach the End of Cake, and nobody wants that.
I believe in rain, clouds, storms, and heat, but I don't believe in weather
Well, yes, just like 1, 7, and 19 are different than 27.
Erm, no. Natural selection, speciation and adaptation is exactly what evolution is.
Can you really study biology or zoology (at University level, I guess) and still be a creationist?
"However, any creationist with any sort of biology or zoology background will be able to tell you that natural selection, speciation, and adaption are quite different from evolution."
True. Also, the current King of France is a dragon.
If you have any background in biology or zoology, it will be a bit difficult to be a cretinist. If you know the facts, it will be hard to believe in a myth.
Evolution is adaptation through random mutations and natural selection. Once enough selections have occurred, you have speciation. How is evolution different from evolution?
However, any creationist with a complete misunderstanding of biology or zoology will be able to tell you that natural selection, speciation, and adaption are quite different from evolution.
FTFY.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
