The anti-creationary feelings don't really run anywhere near as high as the professional evolutionists would have you believe, else they wouldn't have to use end runs, back doors and outright subterfuge.

The repetitive DNA sequences that make up much of our genome, and commonly regarded as "junk," have been important for creationary flexibility, allowing genes to be shuffled and new ones to be created.

it therefore seems that there is at least some justification to the claims of evolutionary folks that creationary folks misuse quotes...not nearly as often as they claim, but it does happen (and it happens on both sides...my experience is that the evolutionary camp far more frequently misuses or misrepresents creationary info and ideas :-)...

Subspecies and distinct population segments, in addition to whole species, can be protected under the act.

Biodiversity is the result of creationary and historical processes. The genetic architecture of a species is also the result of these processes. Thus, genetic diversity is fundamental to biodiversity, and may also be thought of as the ultimate constituent of ecosystem health. The maintenance of biodiversity is threatened when natural events, human interventions or alterations of habitat erode genetic make-up in such a way that the creationary future of a species is likely to be compromised.
