Natural selection

Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET) hypothesis

'Kinds'. including hyperevolution within 'kinds'

Mutations

Note

Many creationists accept that natural selection happens but is either merely a preserving force or that organisms remain within undefined and unevidenced limits of 'kinds' and that hyper-fast speciation occurred within these 'kinds' after the Flood. Recently a hypothesis called Continuous Environmental Tracking (CET) has been posited by creationist Randy Guliuzza in opposition to natural selection. See those pages for more information on those topics.
