In thinking about this earlier, I thought first of a rainbow, but that doesn't work, as all colors appear at once - there's no transition over time. I then thought of sunsets. I've never really watched a sunset to see if it fits. There would probably be a number of breakdowns in the analogy, but at least being man-made wouldn't be one of them, as in the case at hand.

Some creationists go further, adding that macroevolution must involve addition of information, while microevolution is change resulting from loss of information. For example, a particular breed of dog is essentially a wolf with part of the genome extracted.
It is the same thing viewed on different time scales.

Just because you accept evolution doesn't mean you have to defend every argument made in favor of it. This one was lame. Deal with it.
