What do evolutionists "get" that creationists don't? (and vice versa?)
I think evolutionists are awful at recognizing that creationists are usually not experts in biology (since it’s not their field), so the best way to prove a point isn’t by citing science. It’s much better to try a logical or even philosophical approach. Mentioning specific studies just confuses and frustrates—showing a logical process is something both parties can follow.
I think creationists are terrible at researching the other side’s perspective. I know a lot of friends who have, being the little scientists they are, tried to research creationist arguments, some of which are really fascinating. But rarely have a come across a staunch creationist with a clear understanding of even basic evolutionary theory.
And both are awful at recognizing that evolution and creationism aren’t mutually exclusive theories.
I understand this question is a little divisive by nature, but let’s run with it and see what happens. What doesn’t the other party understand?
