This way students could see that the methodology and evidence for macroevolution is completely different from the type of evidence which has brought us the modern conveniences of science and there is only natual experimental evidence for macroevolution whereas the nonhistorical sciences have a much higher standard of evidenceWould you say that tornado or tsunami warnings are a modern convenience of science?

Sure, but these events happen on a regular basis so any models which predict their behavior can be adapted based on direct observation.
On the other hand, no large macroevolutionary event has ever been observed, so any model predicting that behavior cannot be adapted or tested based on direct observation.

Anyone that believes evolution has been proved by science is intellectually dishonest. There are no science tests that even come close to proving evolution.
It requires a lot more faith to believe in evolution rather than intelligent design or as some will say, creationism.
What are evolution believers so afraid of? The truth?
