But you just admitted that there is PLENTY of evidence for evolution; you just call it micro-evolution. Does that mean you don't believe in biology because there is micro-biology? If you put a "micro" in front of something that means it doesn't exist?

The genes or information for starvation resistance already existed in the population. All the experiment showed is that a design condition existed to help maintain a fruit fly population through times of less food supply. It did not show a fruit fly evolving into anything but a normal fruit fly. The population used genetic information that already existed in the gene pool to maintain the population during tough times.As soon as that population was merged back into the normal palpitation with a normal food supply the percentage of starvation resistant fruit flys will assume there normal levels within the population. No evolution at all. Genetic variations are a design characteristic. Showing that genes from a smaller percentage of a species population under extreme conditions can assume a larger percentage of the population in a isolated genetic population is not macro evolution.You must change one healthy species into another healthy species.
