The point? The universe has one constant factor that affects all things in it, and that is change. Delta. Triangle. And life is no different.
If we go by the Creation model, all life was just plopped down as it was with no mechanism to adhere to the change, no way to counteract its effects. Evolution provides this mechanism, provides the way to prosperity.
First of all, there is no creation model, at least no consistent falsifiable model that has been put forth by the creationist camp.
Even so, you should realize that most creationists do not argue complete stasis. They will, by large, accept what they disingenuously call "
microevolution", even at
extremely large rates of change, provided that the total amount of change does not violate the boundaries of their beloved preconceived platonic categories which they call "
kinds".
Life is always changing, minutely to the human eye, but just as if I decided to splurge on candy bars, I wouldn't be fat instantly (though I'd sure feel that way), but over time, if I were to lead the sedentary lifestyle of the common couch potato, in a few weeks I would cause the bathroom scale to cry. The same is true for life.
Of course, but let's not confuse all biological change with the model of biological evolution (change from one generation to the next, as opposed to changes in one organism over its lifetime).
