In my ever-continuing quest of finding everyone's opinion on religion, I found a Christian who fully accepts micro evolution (such as what goes on in viruses) but does not accept macro evolution (such as fish evolving [over a long period of time] into reptiles).
I do not understand how one can accept micro, without accepting macro. The fact of the matter is that micro evolution cannot be argued; viruses mutate all the time, this is why we will get the flu year after year. If viruses like the flu can evolve to continue infecting victims, this is natural selection, so why is it such a leap forward to say it works on a greater scale?
I'm particularly directing this at people (if there are any) that have this view, but I'm happy for others to discuss.
