Most of my subscribers will know how vanishingly rare it is to find a creationist who actually understands how the theory of evolution works. This video is an attempt to describe some of the basics, which they invariably get wrong when they try to debate us.

Links mentioned in the video and sources from which to find out more about evolutionary theory:

This is a good starting point for creationists to learn how scientists describe evolution. I would encourage them to compare this with what creationists say about evolution and then ask themselves if either version makes more sense than the other.
