what is the mechanism inhibiting change?
Research has proven genetic changes due to mutation. Research has proven that some genetic mutations enable an organism's survival in its environment. Research has shown that subsequent generations exhibit further genetic changes. There is no reason to doubt that changes accrue over time.
Creationists deny that small genetic changes can accrue over time.
Creationists are obligated to show what would prevent this, if they wish their ideas to be treated seriously as science.
