It seems to me quite odd that someone can accept micro evolution but then stop short of macro evolution. Macro evolution is simply the culmination of many micro evolutionary steps.
It's a bit like accepting that a few rain drops can create a puddle but then refusing to believe that many puddles can create a lake.
You have to remember that evolution does not have any particular goal in mind and it's only due to these tiny little mutations that give an animal or plant an advantage that one species can 'change' into another.
Also, there is no reason why the 'parent' species has to die out. Remember, that it's not the actual animal that changes but their offspring.
On a more philosophical point, surely if you believe there is a God and that he did indeed create all life on Earth then the best way to go about things is to investigate the natural world to see how he did it rather than to simply believe what was written down thousands of years ago by people who had no knowledge of biology, geology etc.
