CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Is evolution real?

A scientific theory is not the same as theory used in colloquial English.

It's true.
What is a Scientific Theory?
This article explains is easily and simply. But, for a TL,DR: A scientific theory explains the facts of science, such as in germ theory, nuclear theory, or the theory of evolution.
... yeah, no they don't.

Not in my experience. In fact, a re-occurring theme with creationists is having to explain how words and dictionaries work.
It never ceases to amaze me that such discussions are even needed.

Baumgardner's computer model is only one of several models. It was developed in 1990 and I would imagine has been refined in many ways.

Strange the way Scientists can and are allowed to change the meaning of words to fit their very own beliefs, and you readily accept it as truth, fact.
If a Scientist says it, it must be true.
"The way that scientists use the word 'theory' is a little different than how it is commonly used in the lay public,"......... Hummmm interesting.

Or it could be the fact that science has a very specific way of doing things and thus needs a very specific use of words to make sure that ideas and facts can be carried across without getting them confused or muddled up.
I really think that you're charging at a giant that doesn't exist here, Senor Don Quixote.

I never thought speciation was considered as macro-evolutionism...yet the evo's need macro-evolutionism so they claim it to be.
I think speciation is still micro-evolution.
