Progress, indeed. For some time I've been predicting that the creationists will yield on speciation, but coin some term (e.g. "mesoevolution") to distinguish it from "macroevolution", which they will still decry.
Such is the evolution of the "God of the Gaps".

For some time I've been predicting that the creationists will yield on speciation, but coin some term (e.g. "mesoevolution") to distinguish it from "macroevolution", which they will still decry.This has already happened. The AIG folks are already talking about "kinds" as opposed to species, and admitting that there had to be some rapid speciation after Noah.
But no one has seen a squirrel evolve into a toaster. Or a raven into a writing desk.
