Right. There is only one theory which is micro evolution. Its the only one with any science. Macro evolution is an extension of that and is at the center of the debate. Macro evolution concepts should be pulled from the textbooks.

I said no such thing. I said there is no such theory as "micro" evolution. Darwin did not theorize micro and macro evolution. You are proposing a "micro" theory of evolution. What is it?

The following is from my son's College Biology Textbook, Biology, Sixth Edition, Campbell & Reece, 2002, page 476:

"Speciation is at the boundary between microevolution and macroevolution. Microevolution is a change over the genetics in a population's allele frequencies, mainly by genetic drift and natural selection. ...Yet the cumulative change during millions of speciation episodes over vast tracts of time must account for macroevolution, the level of change that is evident over the time scale of the fossil record."
