Define micro and macro evolution.

What mechanism stops micro evolution from becoming macro evolution over time?

Would the difference between a mouse and a rat be a micro change or a macro change?

The assumption is where the adaptive information comes from.

If you assume it was there to begin with, you come to one conclusions.
If you assume that it wasn’t there and beneficial information was added by random mutations, you’ll come to another conclusion.
