Hi,
@J Mick
I hope you haven't forgotten about my last post to you, Post 68.
I provided the additional support you asked for that micro and macro evolution are the same thing and asked you again what process you think happens in macro evolution that does not also happen in micro evolution. I shall report that post so you don't have to go searching for it...

Given that you have no education or qualification in the field at all and have not provided a single shred of evidence to support your position that they are somehow different, I'd say my position is looking a lot better than yours.
But fine, you want to play this silly game?
"The main mistake creationist perpetuate when thinking about micro-vs-macro evolution, is that the two are somehow different and distinct physical processes. This is simply not the case, they are both just evolution."
SOURCE The author works in the department of biology at the University of Pennsylvania.
On a
page on Quora, where the question was asked, "What are the main and most important differences between macroevolution and microevolution?" These are some of the answers:
- "To be blunt, the spelling is the only difference." Written by an associate professor of anthropology.
- "Time. That is all. There really are no other differences... Scientists who study evolution see no actual difference between lots of evolution and little bits of evolution. THERE IS JUST MORE OF IT. But there is no difference between them, except for giving them time to accumulate. Let me emphasize that again, THERE IS NO BORDER, DIVISION OR BARRIER between these two ‘types’ of evolution..." Written by someone with a Bachelor's and a Doctorate in biology.
- "The same distinction as between a 10-mile hike and a short stroll. Macroevolution is just lots of microevolutions, stacked up." Author has a degree in biology.
- "Macroevolution is just accumulated microevolution." Author is a zoologist and a geneticist.
- "Micro- anything is a little bit and macro- anything is a big bit. Micro-evolution is a little bit of evolution and macro-evolution is a big bit of evolution. Neither term is particularly useful." Author has a BSc in biology.
- "Just the number of generations involved." Author is a student of applied biology.
And also:
"...macroevolution is simply an accumulation of microevolutionary events. In other words, microevolution inevitably leads to macroevolution. So if microevolution happens, then, ipso facto, macroevolution also happens."
SOURCE The author has a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in biology, and is currently a post-doctoral researcher at a university. He has have over a decade of research experience, and has published multiple peer-reviewed papers, served as a reviewer for many journals, and presented his research at national, professional conferences.
So there you go. Multiple people all of whom have studied science and biology a lot more than either of us, and they are all saying that micro evolution and macroevolution are the same exact thing, just over different time scales.
Now, it's time for you to answer my question.
Tell me what process is required for macro-evolution that does not occur in microevolution.
Of course, I suspect that you will find some reason to ignore this and also refuse to answer the question I asked.
