For Daystar, a question:
My contention is that both "micro" & "macro" evolution are creationist inventions (the fact that you buy into this idea is yet another reason to support my contention that you are just another Fundy, admittedly old Earth but just a creationist stooge) whereas evolutionists (whether they accept the nomenclature or not) recognise that "micro" and "macro" evolution are the same thing, adaptation; that if something adapts far enough it changes. Small change plus small change plus small change plus small change plus small change (and so on over vast amounts of time) ultimately results in big change ... it isn't rocket science, given that adaptation happens it's a rational expectation that it will happen.
So the question changes and one has to ask, if creationists (if you) are right, what stops adaptation becoming evolution? What mechanism exists to prevent "micro" evolution becoming "macro"? Assume, if you will, that I am simple minded person; that I need to be told exactly why things happen ... correct me if I'm wrong but, if this simple concept is not true, then there must be something that prevents it so the question you have to answer is what is that mechanism? Can you enlighten me and tell me exactly what the difference is between "micro" & "macro" evolution (without resorting to tiresome clichés like "micro" equals adaption and "macro" equals speciation and what it is that forever stops one becoming the other? It's a simple enough question for ANY decent evolutionist to answer ... what is your answer? You imply there are limits to evolution ... what limits it?
