Most YECs would agree with this definition of the "fact
of evolution": that is, genetic variation in organisms
as observed in human history
> or in the geologic record)
Most YECs would not agree that the fossil record
illustrates the "fact of Evolution", but rather,
interpretation of the fossil record over earth history
within Naturalism is called the "fact of Evolution."
YECs believe that the fossil record is better
interpreted as the record of death and destruction
during a global cataclysm. This is where the rub is
between evolutionism and creationism -- how to
interpret the fossil record?

Most YECs would agree with this last statement.
