Especially if it's a good pair of well fitting jeans.

When presented with the evidence, creationists will admit to believing in so-called 'microevolution' but will deny 'macroevolution'.  They then refuse to acknowledge that by doing so they actually believe in evolution.

You can then ask them repeatedly what mechanism is in place to stop a series of small changes from accumulating and they will be unable to answer it.

But they get away with it in their minds (no one else's) because they basically are asking for something impossible. Anything that can be observed evolving is micro-evolution according to them. So they basically demand us to present them with observations (not evidence) of 'macro-evolution'. In other words they demand that we present them with something that they can observe changing themselves which takes longer than a human life.

(They ignore observable evidence such as fossil records etc). But there are examples all around us that they cannot deny. Languages evolve all the time using very small steps. Accents become dialects which become different languages. If you learn German, French, Spanish, Italian for example, you'll see many different similarities between the languages. If you learn an oriental language you will see that it is completely different.

e.g.

the elephant sits in the house
der Elefant sitzt im Haus
象は家に座っています (I'm trusting google translate on this one)

Or you can look at how one language changes over time.

Quote:3109         Whan that the Knyght had thus his tale ytoold,
3110         In al the route nas ther yong ne oold
3111         That he ne seyde it was a noble storie
3112         And worthy for to drawen to memorie,
3113         And namely the gentils everichon.
3114         Oure Hooste lough and swoor, "So moot I gon,
3115         This gooth aright; unbokeled is the male.
3116         Lat se now who shal telle another tale;
3117         For trewely the game is wel bigonne.

Quote:3109         When the Knight had thus told his tale,
3110         In all the company there was no one young nor old
3111         Who did not say it was a noble story
3112         And worthy to draw into memory,
3113         And especially the gentlefolk every one.
3114         Our Host laughed and swore, "As I may move about (I swear),
3115         This goes well; the bag is opened.
3116         Let's see now who shall tell another tale;
3117         For truly the game is well begun.

A rock does not show specified complexity so it is not designed
