Biblical creationism claims that there was one form of life for every category of life (which might mean, say, genus, family, even species, but its hard to know; it wasn't clear, like everything the bible claims).
This is ONE interpretation of Genesis one and two. The interpretation is fraught with problems in that it usually accepts "microevolution within kind" and rejects any notions of macroevolution.
Mainstream British natural theologians, who were the scientific community prior to the rise of transmutation and Darwinism (1850-1879) accepted each species to be the separate special creation work of God. They summarily rejected transmutation of any kind and at any rate.
I hold to the view of these British natural theologians. This is the view of Biblical creationism: species owe their existence to direct Divine power, as it is shown in Genesis, so the same is how species appear today and how they appeared down through the ages.
The Fundamentalists of AiG, who accept microevolution, are now obligated to show how the nature that we see today developed itself since the Flood in 3140 BC. The ridiculous rates of speciation that are postulated are false on their face. No evolution of any kind can operate that fast. This is why we Paleyan designists or neo-British natural theologians say that God controls nature hands-on - microevolution is false. Divine power has reproduced nature since the Flood.
We are comforted that Christian Fundamentalism & Atheist-evolutionism accept microevolution. Both extremes exemplify the utter falsity of microevolution and its impossibility.
