Mimio: Nobody on this earth rejects "evolution" in some form or degree. But we need to define terms. I am careful to use the term "Darwinist" because I mean something very specific. I mean the neoDarwinian synthesis which claims that all of life's diversity and complexity can be attributed to Natural Selection driving random fortuitous mutations. I believe the evidence does not support this kind of "evolution". I believe that this is a leftover from 19th century fads and is based on old data. Darwin thought the cell was a useless blob of protoplasm. He was wrong. Anyway, I believe that intelligent saltational "evolution" occured. And this is what we see in the fossil record: novel phyla unfolding per the coded instructions of the program which drives all of life. Think of it as front-loaded evolution. This is where the evidence points. It also happens to be consistent with the speciation events which many YEC's hold to. What the evidence does not support is the gradualistic model of Darwinism.
