"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-"

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?

Sorry- but I’ll have to dissagree- the differences ARE recognized by soem itnellectualy honest scientsits who don’t venture outside of science by attempting to extrapolate micro to macro because they recognize the two processes are completely different biologically
