Something To Think About

[gluadys]

That's the most naturalist biased website I have seen in my life. And no, only microevolution is a fact.

That might depend on how you define "macroevolution". How would you describe it?

Did you know that in science "macroevolution" is considered to be a synonym of "speciation". Speciation is an observed fact.

But if you are thinking of "macroevolution" in a different way, then you need to explain what you mean by that.

The difference between speciation and macroevolution is that speciation is nothing more the an inability of populations to interbreed. That is more or less the general rule but Bonobos and Chimpanzees can still interbreed even though they are discernibly different species.

Macroevolution means large scale adaptation, it is synonymous with neither speciation nor microevolution.

Anyone seen the goalposts?

I could've sworn they were here a few minutes ago...

Would the accumulation of small scale adaptions count as a large scale adaption?

For instance, Darwins belief that God did not exist,

Darwin was never an atheist. Agnostic, possibly, but he never became an atheist. And it wasn't evolution that made him doubt God's existence, but the early death of his beloved daughter.

Drive-by creationists.

Sheesh.
