Good one... you forgot that as a Christian your not really questioning everything. Taking things as you've been told.
But either way.
The only difference between macro and micro evolution is the time span. At least when it was first used.
Man has never popped out of a man ape
Read 2001 a space oddesy, it explains it well.
The only diiferences between macro and microevolution are whatever made up differences creatards ascribe to those two terms, because they created them in the Great Panda Shift of the late eighties in order to try and put on a scientific veneer and get creatardism taught in schools under intelligent design. Science does no use those terms, as while there are a number of mechanisms driving evolution, evolution itself is a single process.
And I am as skeptical of RRs claims to formerly accept evolution. There are gross mischaracterisations replete throughout RRs postings hers showing the only grounding he got in evolution was from a creatard perspective.
What specifically do you think that I am mis-characterizing about evolution?
Also, I don't accept name calling, attacking the person, or attacking the source, as an argument. And if there is no difference between micro evolution and macro evolution, then you should have no trouble demonstrating macro evolution correct? Hardly anyone denies that changes occur within the genetic population of a species over time. However; all time is going to gain you is an addition or multiplication of those changes seen within micro evolution. What evidence would you point to demonstrate that large scale systematic body plan changes occur to demonstrate macro evolution?
Also, to your claim that science does not use those terms, I would refer you to FAQ #13 here http://www.uncommondescent.com/faq/#macmictrms
and also the the term was coined in 1927 by a Russian entomologist, not in the late eighties as you describe.
