Do you know what "semantic argument" means? Whenever there is an overall theory, one may freely name what that theory says about one of its particular subsets "Theory of [process]." For example, there are many theories of microeconomics but, all are part of "economics." It is simply a linguistic shortcut.

Semantics means it is only a matter of words.

You are correct that it is a semantic argument, but it is you that is using it. You are defining macroevolution as something other than it is. That is a rhetorical trick or a false semantic argument.

I simply restate that micro and macroevolution are exactly the same process. I have given you the scientific definitions. Please do not repeat the same semantic argument again in your defense of the cult.

Do you understand the definition of microevolution or not?
