I'm still waiting to hear the biological mechanism which prevents microevolution from becoming macroevolution.
Origins of multicellularity: All in the familyCan you tell me how did a single-cell life evolve into a multiple-cell life?
Here I thought I was talking to average people and they would get my point, but apparently they can't handle my point so they move to a semantics argument and when victorious declare their opponent to be a hack because he isn't as l33t with word games.
Of course believing in creationism doesn't save a person, but neither does believing in evolution protect somebody from the flu. Evolutionary theory leads to the development of the flu vaccine, just as creation leads to the knowledge of God.
Set up the conclusion first. Then try to find evidence to support it.
It is absolutely no less scientific than any conventional scientific methods.

No Juvie, that's not the scientific method - what you posted is a sure ticket to ignorance and superstition, which in the past has given us all kinds of idiocy from "earthly falling", astrology, and phrenology. AIH has given me some forehead slappers, but your statement tops those.
And we wondered how anyone could have such a distorted view of the real world! There's our answer.

No, it's definitely you. Don't forget: You lied to us before about being a university professor in geology.You obviously are not one who works in science.
You could have said that evolution doesn't occur past the artificial levels of class or order.What word should I have used to express my disbelief that dinosaurs couldn't turn into birds?
I was merely defining the type of argument you were describing.
In what way have I been offensive? Because I keep asking a question you refuse to answer?
What is the biological mechanism that separates so-called "microevolution" from so-called "macroevolution"?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course, if birds didn't evolve from dinosaurs, you'd have to wonder about all those feathered dinosaurs...
In other words, you're equating a biological "kind" with the Linnean rank of class or order? So you accept all evolution below those ranks?Evolution doesn't occur past the artificial levels of class or order.
Again... I never said there was one. I'm not really sure how many times I need to type that for you to figure it out. What part of anything I said made you think I thought there was? Have you been reading this thread? Or only the odd post?
And I don't mean offensive as in insulting if thats how you took it.
Evolution doesn't occur past the artificial levels of class or order.
Whew! Now we are getting somewhere! Thanks!
To his mind, the only thing preventing evolution from producing new classes or orders is time. He thinks there's not enough time for higher ranks to evolve.Does anyone else see it? He says that there is no biological mechanism that differentiates micro/macro evolution but then claims that evolution does not progress beyond an arbitrary point? I'm still waiting to hear why, physically, this is the case? Its been 2 pages now.

Let me teach you a little bit: One translation on what I said could be:
I want this to happen, how could I do it?
