Sigh sigh sigh, they're the same thing. The terms macro/micro evolution came about awhile back and have since utterly fallen out of favor, a distinction not worth making. The only people who insist on making this distinction are creatards who, for some reason, even though they love the fucking terms, can't get them right. The author of that article, for example, was making the claim that "microevolution" -by the definition he decided to give it at the start of the article- does not account for new organs. That many organs are retasked versions of older organs (that may no longer serve the same purpose) is fairly well understood, but lying that aside, new organs are not required for "macroevolution". We have hearts and so do rats. Again, the tears began at the beginning of the article when the author attempted to weasel in "the creation of new information/genes" as the criteria.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
