What is the difference in this context between microevolution and macroevolution?

If I understand your question, Noah had a gorilla on the ark but not an eastern-lowland gorilla, a mountain gorilla and a western gorilla.

Do you reject the abundant physical evidence that the earth is c 4 billion years old..."

No, I interpret it differently.
Light was created before the stars. That gets it down to a few hundren million. It also eliminates the need for string theory.
The deluge explains the rock strata. If you do an experiment with several thousands of gallons of water, some silt and sand and a few dead critters, you get the same thing.
Here's a question:How do fish leave fossils? "Modern" ones don't.

How many insects and fish on the ark please?

How do you explain the light from distant supernovae that never occurred if the universe is young? Why did God create the light from such identifiable events that never happened? Is God an habitual liar?

The deluge explains the rock strata. If you do an experiment with several thousands of gallons of water, some silt and sand and a few dead critters, you get the same thing.

No such experiment has explained any such thing. The physical evidence of the age of the earth is as conclusive as any evidence ever can be.

How do fish leave fossils? "Modern" ones don't.

Fossilisation of any creature is an incredibly rare event. I would have thought the question "Why are there few fossils of modern fish?" a much tougher one for anyone who doubts evolution or supports the idea of flood geology.

I forgot to remind you about marsupials. How did they get from Australasia (and Antarctica unless you accept an ancient earth and plate tectonics) to the Middle East to board the ark? How did they get back to Australasia after the disembarkation? How had they survived in Antarctica at all? (unless you accept an ancient earth and plate tectonics)

B: No you interpret it wrongly.

Light was created before the stars.

B: You mean the cosmic microwave background. Which ceased being in the visible spectrum a few million years after big bang.

That gets it down to a few hundren million.

B. Wrong. The age of the Earth is 4.55 billion years old give or take 50 million years. The universe is 13.7 billion years in age give or take one billion.


It also eliminates the need for string theory.

B: What are you smoking? And creationists claim evolution is a fairy tale? LMAO!

The deluge explains the rock strata.

B: Even DiVInci realized the Noachian Deluge didn't explain rock strata. Say, Derheim.. can you explain how angular uncomformities and salt deposits form in a flood? We'd really like to know.


If you do an experiment with several thousands of gallons of water, some silt and sand and a few dead critters, you get the same thing.

B: Done that experiment many times. But I've never seen stacked reef complexes, angular uncomformities, salt deposits and a billion other things result from it.



Here's a question:How do fish leave fossils? "Modern" ones don't.

B: Yet more ignorance. You can find plenty of recent fish fossils in lakes and elsewhere. In fact fish otoliths are good barometers of environmental changes in lakes.

B: You know nothing about anything you wrote of. Not one thing. None, nada, zilch.
