To: Mr. Silverback
The basic rhetorical strategy for evolution these days is to wait until a person questioning the theory comes up with a good point, and then say, "Well, evolution doesn't address that." A nice parry, but the bottom line is that macro evolution either has to explain (or at least have some bloody opinion on) how life got here or it has to admit that intelligent design is as good an explanation as any.

Why does evolution have to explain exactly how the first life got here? Because you say so?

Evolution has never addressed the ultimate origins of life. Even in Darwin's Origin of the Species, the process of evolution was written as something that occured after the first life forms appeared on Earth.

Also, macro and micro evolution are the same process of allele frequency changes in populations over time.

To insist that one can occur and the other can't is nonsense.
