Well the issue here is the ORIGIN of the species. There’s no debate about evolution (”adaption”) happening later within a basic animal group after creation. And what are the consequences, hera and now, if one or the other of us gets it wrong in terms of how long it took and by what method?
Creation is the big event that brought all things we see into existence. Slight variations due to evolution is beside the point. Creation matters because schools are teaching Darwinist mythology that is not supportable. Teaching Darwinism as fact helps the atheist agenda.
Creation is not nearly as important as redemption and salvation, but as a foundation for true scientific inquiry, truth, and a cultural awareness of a Creator God, it is important.
