That wasn't a paper that was a textbook. It doesn't matter what things you meant to suggest deep time applies to, time is not the distinguishing factor between micro and macroevolution. Everything takes time; it's like saying the difference between a bath and a shower is the time people spend taking them.

No. Your analogy is flawed and textbooks are for beginners, I prefer the latest science.
Do you think Latin speakers turned into French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian speakers in a day?

No i think i'll keep stating the facts thank you

Textbooks are how new generations of scientists learn their trade. That's why Thomas Kuhn used them as qualitative data for his philosophy of science, to observe paradigm shifts and revolutions in science:
"These textbooks expound the body of accepted theory, illustrate many or all of its successful applications, and compare these applications with exemplary observations and experiments" (Kuhn, 1970, p. 10).
No, Latin didn't turn to French in a day; the length of time, however, is irrelevant when it comes to identifying that transition. If you can provide the specific amount of time (e.g. "2 million years") that is used as a yardstick by "the latest science" to distinguish microevolution from macroevolution, I'll withdraw my argument.

There is no specific amount of time, because speciatation does not operate on uniform timetables. This is due to a range of factors, not the least of which being the reproductive cycle of any given species-come-genus, or...if we prefer, clade. Macroevolution can (and does) occur faster for flies than primates. They fuck faster, and more often.
I know, I know, so complicated.....

I love how he thinks quotes make him look informed .While repeating creationist rhetoric .

Gas is ahead of me.
I love to hear a creationist quoting Hume, try some Popper.
Sorry typo. Gae Bolga is ahead of me. No offence meant.

You gotta be quick to beat a no lifer like me. 
I'd add to the above...that it takes different amounts of time to bake the same cake based on the altitude of the oven, as well. The underlying assumption required to ask the initial question is positively absurd. May as well ask how long it takes a teenager girl to get ready for a date.
-and yet, still, the only thing separating micro and macro evolution is time. At the end of the day, or a very long series of them, speciation is inevitable. Copying errors alone will eventually produce reproductive incompatibility. This is drift, in a nutshell. We're not sure that drift amounts to much in the face of other speciation pressures, but even if every other pressure was Wrong and Ungood™...there would still be drift. The items contained under the header of Modern Synth are so individually strong that toppling one or more of them would not meaningfully change our picture of how biology operates.
Or, you know, the meatfairy did it. Played in the dirt, muttered a cantrip...did cpr to a golem. 50/50
