My BIL wants to know if Jeb Bush believes in Evolution. Anyone know?

[HereSince1628]

6. mutations and natural selections are part of 'micro' evolution

factors, among others, that influence changes in frequencies of alleles in a population.

Microevolution can and does happen without creating new species. Microevolution can be demonstrated pretty easily. Most creationist scholars accept microevolution without challenge

BUT they don't think it's EVOLUTION of new species.

Within biology that's a topic within macroevolution...which, simply said refers to changes in the membership list of species present.

macroevolution has two components the generation of new species and the extinction of species.

A couple of hundred years ago extinction was deemed impossible....God doesn't make junk or let his good stuff be thrown away...

Extinction is now accepted by most creationist scholars.

But generation of new species by natural 'evolutionary' process remains contentious for creationists


So legislators/politicians in a conservative places like Kansas and Florida that won't allow evolution to be taught can in practice accept standards that include microevolution although they probably wouldn't want it called that.
