[[Let’s see if I understand what you’re trying to tell us... In 1927 a Russian (Communist?) bug scientist expressed his opinion that micro- and macro-evolution might involve two different mechanisms, and you CottShop, think that’s the final scientific word on this subject?]]

Let’s see if I understand htis right- You apparently are content picking and choosing whatever suits your ‘argument’ to make it look as though you are winning, when the reality is that the REST of my post made it VERY clear that it was first- not onyl a NON Creationist that came up with hte term, BUT scientists AFTER him also agree with his assessment AND with hte biological FACTS that demonstrate a complete difference between between micro and macro-

Sorry fella- but I’m NOT goign to continue an argument with someone such as yourself who doesn’t have enough integrity to honestly respond to what I post- You’ve been doign htis right from the start, and it’s clear you have no intention of carrying on an intellectually honest conversation- so have a nice day

And by hte way- the quesiton didn’t ‘stump’ Dan- He’s smarter than I am and knows when to qit with someone such as yourself long before I do- one of my shortcomings I guess

Indeed, it is a nice day here...

Neither you nor GourmetDan has been willing to answer my simple question. Instead you try your best to change the subject to something else.

And now you can say nothing except to blast away with insults.

How about if you practice "enough integrity to honestly respond" yourself, and answer my question:

At what precise point does "micro-evolution" turn into "macro-evolution"?

By the way, I notice you quoted the Russian Communist Filipchenko in 1927 opining that there might be a difference between the processes of micro- and macro-evolution. But his pupil was a fellow named T.G. Dobzhansky who wrote the book "Genetics and the Origin of Species" in America, in 1937. Here was Dobzhansky's opinion:

"we are compelled at the present level of knowledge reluctantly to put a sign of equality between the mechanisms of macro- and microevolution"

And so far as I know, that "sign of equality" has never been removed by any serious scientist.

Do you disagree?
