Ok. Then if the acquisition of new genes were to be demonstrated, that would be evidence of macro-evolution.

This is what I said and I stand by it for the reasons I explained:

So to sum up. Macro-evolution is a transformation requiring new genes, more complexity and new faculties. In terms of genetics, it requires at a minimum the creation of more than one new gene. In terms of taxonomy it would require an organism to change into a different genus
