Macro and Micro evolution for dummies.

Sure, that's why I also linked to a Science article. Here's another:

Chapter 5DNA, RNA, and the Flow of Genetic Information

Having genes in common accounts for the resemblance of a mother and her daughters. Genes must be expressed to exert an effect, and proteins regulate such expression. One such regulatory protein, a zinc-finger protein (zinc ion is blue, protein is red), (more...)
DNA and RNA are long linear polymers, called nucleic acids, that carry information in a form that can be passed from one generation to the next. These macromolecules consist of a large number of linked nucleotides, each composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and a base. Sugars linked by phosphates form a common backbone, whereas the bases vary among four kinds. Genetic information is stored in the sequence of bases along a nucleic acid chain. [Emphasis in original]

As I said earlier, this isn't controversial. It's pretty basic stuff. I presume my opponents made a knee-jerk opposition to me, assuming that a dumb ol' Christian can't know anything about evolution. Speaking of which, the blogosphere had this interesting bit two days ago:

In particular:

In fact, one study done by a former graduate student at my department at Harvard showed that people who endorse the theory of evolution don't understand it any better than those that deny it.
