"So tell us the difference between a micro-mutation and a macro-mutation. I'm sure generations of biologists are awaiting your wisdom."

That was answered in post #159 and repeated (something apparently quite necessary for the current crowd on this thread) in post #191.

The answer won't change. Repeatedly re-asking the above question will obtain the same answers already given in the above-mentioned posts (if you care to save time and typing, something of which I'm not altogether convinced).

To wit: on the micro level it might be accurate to say that I don't have the specific mutation rates of alligators/crocodiles on the tip of my tongue...but at the macro level (e.g. the big picture) it is inaccurate to say the same thing...because species that are little-changed over 200 million years clearly have low mutation rates.

Which is to say, I know the macro rate of mutation. In contrast, you are desperately clinging to the fact that I don't know the specific micro level mutation rates as if that myopic viewpoint disproves the bigger picture.

Are you actually asserting that this gibberish has meaning? Again, what is your source for the mutation rates of alligators and crocodiles?
