I suspect you don’t understand the deniers’ delusions well enough to refute them. _In general_, creationists and other deniers of evolution don’t deny microevolution (changes within species); they deny macroevolution (evolution of new species). [Cite](https://www.icr.org/article/what-difference-between-macroevolution-microevolut/) from a nutjob creationist website.

Finding examples of microevolution within a species like humanity won’t do anything to satisfy their doubts about macroevolution.
