The fossil record clearly shows that all of the animal families are becoming smaller, weaker, lesser versions of what they were in ages past.
I think this is evident in human history as well.

Believe what you will.
I believe in a Creator God.

As do I.

Many who accept the discoveries of modern science are also believers, and see no contradiction between evolution and a creator God.

Most believers in "Creationism" worldwide, however, are Muslims. Christians tend not to be "Creationists," even if they believe in creation.

PS A "Creationist" is someone who believes that each kind of living creature (species) was created from scratch by a sort of conjuring action on the part of God, and that living creatures are not related to one another across species. Genesis does not demand this interpretation in the least, although a pre-scientific primitive who reads it might well take that meaning from it.
