There are gaps in nature. Nature is not continuous yet Evolution is.
No. Each new creature is a new point. You don't get a continuous blend of characters, but discontinuous steps. As Mendel pointed out, variation is like sorting beads, not like mixing paint. And this discovery cleared up a serious problem for evolutionary theory. You have it completely backwards.
Our mind are not capable of grasping reality and so we make up things like Evolution.
Evolution is merely what we observe happening. Evolutionary theory is the theory that best explains what we see. There is no controversy about it happening; we see it happening. The problem for creationists is that many of them don't know what it is.
"A change in allele frequencies in a population over time."
Few creationists would deny that. Many of them now even admit the fact of speciation; some, like AIG and the ICR even admit evolution of higher taxa like genera and families.
A few creationists deny agencies of evolution like natural selection or increasing fitness in a population.
Most creationists deny some consequences of evolution like common descent. Unless you know what the theory is, and make clear what about evolution you object to, you're kinda spinning your wheels. Can you tell us about it.
