Let's say we scrap evolution for arguments sake, whit it we would haveto throw away a lot of benifitial stuff.
evolution works on mutations being heredetry and selected for.
So we would haveto throw away all the man made breeds of cows that where breed to provide more milk or more meet. Those traits where selected fore and passed on to their ofspring.
We would also haveto scrap all the forms of wheat that where breed for whatever properties we wanted.
Dogs would also haveto be scraped.
It is also very likely one would haveto scrap the whole concept of genetic engeniring but in this case the mutations are man made though they are still hereditry and follow the same laws as evolution, so to be on the safe side that evolution does not come back we would haveto scrap the whole concept.
And lots of other stuff would not work if evolution did not exsist.
So do you creationist realy want to throw away all the benifits gained from the knowlage of evolution? Cause you cant have only one side of the same coin.

I'm not in favor of promoting this because most creationists have no problem with microevolution nor with anything else that can be clearly demonstrated in the here and now. Can you name some evolutionary related advances that depend upon principles actually rejected by creationists?
If you decide to take another swing then please be sure to proof read first to clean up any spelling errors, misused words, missing spaces, etc.

Good point gonna propose a new topic later one on what is the fine line that separate s micro evolution from macro evolution in creationists eyes. What is the biological or logical barrier that prevents micro evolution from becoming macro evolution.
In science the terms are used for descriptive purposes though macro evolution is only the combination of lots of micro evolutions.
While creationists use the terms to describe 2 totally different processes.
