Screen shot from an Answers in Genesis’ Facebook presentation July 2016 illustrating change within kinds as degradation of information and change between kinds—their definition of macroevolution—as requiring gains in information and always requiring an “upward” trajectory. This cartoon, featured in several of Ken Ham’s well-known presentations, depicts the creationist view of “microevolutionary” speciation. They say: “You can breed wolves to get to chihuahuas, but you can’t breed chihuahuas to get wolves—variation in the genetic information has been lost.” (Patterson 2008)
