If you don't know the difference between micro and macro-evolution, you don't know enough to belong in the conversation.

While I am now in the military, I started as a biologist. My comments on brain-washing are based on my time getting my BS in biology.

ANYONE who says macro-evolution is a fact is either a liar or ignorant. Facts can be observed. Macro-evolution, if it occurs, takes place over millions of years - making it kind of hard to carry out experiments.

It is therefore a suitable subject of inquiry for historians, not scientists.

If you think there is any essential difference between micro and macro evolution, then you have been reading too many creationist websites.

"While I am now in the military, I started as a biologist. My comments on brain-washing are based on my time getting my BS in biology."

That doesn't mean you know what evolution is.

"ANYONE who says macro-evolution is a fact is either a liar or ignorant."

I am neither a liar, nor like you, ignorant. Common descent is a fact.

"Facts can be observed."

Atoms exist. Have you ever seen one? Has one been observed? Have you ever heard of indirect evidence?

"Macro-evolution, if it occurs, takes place over millions of years - making it kind of hard to carry out experiments. "

I guess not.

"It is therefore a suitable subject of inquiry for historians, not scientists."

Are there any facts in history?
