... then consider the following:
In the documentary Genetics: Patterns of Diversity it concludes, "But still, the controversy remains. The challenge to Darwin's theory is to explain these molecular changes in terms of natural selection." There are many other challenges to Darwin's theory. Creationist Dr. Parker states:
Evolutionists assume that all life started from one or a few chemically evolved life forms with an extremely small gene pool. For evolutionists, enlargement of the gene pool by selection of random mutations is a slow, tedious process that burdens each type with a "genetic load" of harmful mutations and evolutionary leftovers.
...The creationist mechanism works and it's consistent with what we observe. The evolutionist assumption doesn't work, and it's not consistent with what we presently know of genetics and reproduction. As a scientist, I tend to prefer ideas that do work and do help to explain what we can observe. (Creation 115)

It is an established fact that mutations can not be the mechanism that explains the process of evolution because it leads to the destruction of the organism.
Now, the creation model for variety that Parker refers to is the genetic square (114). This is the mechanism which is believed to have caused differences among people at the Biblical "Tower of Babel" incident. "Variation within created types" is a scientific fact (107). This is the (creationist) mechanism by which we observe such diversity among organisms. Evolutionists try to exaggerate this scientific fact to further their claims. The fact is, as Dr. Gary Parker wrote, "Creationists don't believe that frogs turn into princes... but rather that frogs and people were separately created from the same kinds of molecular 'building blocks'".

You are so right! I know about mutations and adaptations, but they will never add up to evolution.

You have certainly drawn a lot of attention on this question. I am sorry that none of the creationists have responded as have the evolutionists. I appreciate what you have written. I have not read enough about Modelling to even express an opinion on it. I do know that GOD is the Creator and we are the Created. HE is the one that should be the focus of our studies not some chimp in a zoo but these people seem to think that it is possible to change species as an evolutionary movement. That has been almost totally and completly proven WrOnG. Have a great evening and a wonderful LORD's DAY!

You are right that there are a lot of challenges to Evolution.
Interestingly, there are no valid challenges to evolution. The statement that "The creationist mechanism works and it's consistent with what we observe" is an outright lie.

Um, where did you pull this from;
"It is an established fact that mutations can not be the mechanism that explains the process of evolution because it leads to the destruction of the organism."
Your rectal cavity? Because mutations are ONE of many mechanisms that drive Evolution. Not all mutations are detrimental. If you had ONE iota of education, you'd know that.
It really staggers me the level of outright ignorance you people put into your diatribes. If you'd use this zealotry to educate yourselves, it would be a wonderful world we live in...

Lol if you can believe in proofless creationism which has no logic, explanation or mechanism, why cant we believe in a rare wonderful mutation that created humans? You mean only religious folks like you can believe in miracles?...be balanced n check your own back lol...

Wow. That is so full of holes that I don't even know where to begin. I'll just point out the fact that I don't bother to argue with people who have their heads so far up their asses that they can see their own colon polyps.

"...For evolutionists, enlargement of the gene pool by selection of random" Ok, this guy has problem of understanding evolution

There is no "Creationist mechanism". That's the point.

No, they don't. But, they don't think you know the difference either.
Most evolutionist (non educated) don't know about modeling either. The educated ones are worried about it.
