Question to Creationists who believe in "microevolution"
If differentiating micro and macroevolution (as Paul asks, whatever that is) is
a way to reconcile the fact that changes in species  does occur with the
existence of a divine creator, then how would such a creationist consider man?
The bible says God put us here in his own image, but then would that creationist
admit that he put us here as an "amoeba" or a primitive mammal and then let us
evolve or is man an exception and we were put here just as we are?
(Or as the Archbishop of Canterbury's wife (?) exclaimed after reading Darwin's
claims - "Man descended from apes!  Let us pray it is not true, or at least that
it not become widely known!")
