Part of my earliest orientation in this "creation/evolution" morass was a speech given by Fred Edwords circa 1984. He mentioned that the most rapid rate of evolution offered by the most radical "evolutionists" was one speciation event every 50,000 years. Indeed, in my subsequent research in that decade, I read from Le Baron Georges de Cuvier's "Treatise sur La Terre" in which he pointed out the ludicrousness of "LaMarckian" evolution since the oldest Egyptian mummies show no evolutionary change in those thousands of years.
And yet, creationists want to invoke such a horrendously rapid rate of evolution that one "insect kind" is able to produce 250,000 different species in less than a century? I would never have imagined that creationists were such extraordinarily radical evolutionists!
Edited by dwise1, : "rapid rate", not "rapid rapid"
