And as I said, if those biologists wish to propose a falsifiable hypothesis as to what those macro-mechanisms are, as well as how they're meaningfully different from micro ones, test that hypothesis, and show real evidence that they exist and how they work, then I will listen.
Until then, the distinction is a meaningless one made to prop up intractable creationists.
Quote:As noted above, I accept the first definition, as it is demonstrable.
Given that the "micro" definition is demonstrable, and sufficient to cause the "macro" changes, then I suppose you accept evolution in general.
I know what's coming, by the way; I just need to play my part.
