A very Clintonian definition. Give a couple million years and all these little mutations start to add up and the critters start looking very different.
In other words, no observed evidence. It's infered.
People who buy micro evolution (and they have to in order not to be seen as obvious fools) actually buy into macro evolution because it is just a matter of time scale.
Actually, it's more of the difference between output <= input and output > input. An infinite n of o*n <-> i*n (where o is the output, i is the input, and n is the number of iterations) will still give o < i.

As a model of microevolution GA can be somewhat useful. But as an explanation for all of evolution it's quite clearly not GA+time. In real life, constraints different from natural selection also direct evolution and at each generation, the operators and output possibilities change. That is, the GA output evolves.
