The central question of the Chicago conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution . . . the answer can be given as a clear, No.”
Please allow me to show that quote in the correct context:
“The central question of the Chicago conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution. At the risk of doing violence to the positions of some of the people at the meeting, the answer can be given as a clear, No. What is not so clear, however, is whether microevolution is totally decoupled from macroevolution. The two can more probably be seen as a continuum with a notable overlap.” ~ Roger Lwein

Looks like that is saying just the opposite of what your asserting.
Quote mining, I thought you were better than that.
Nah- it wasn’t quote mining- The quote is accurate and reflects the FACT that they could NOT extrapolate from microevolution to macroevolution (But by golly they go right ahed and extrapolate anyways after CLEARLY stating “What is not so clear, however, is whether microevolution is totally decoupled from macroevolution.”- they then go right on to declare the two have an ‘overlap’ when htey CLEARLY had stated the one could NOT be extrapolated to mean the one, microevolution, moves towards macroevolution
Double speak at it finest folks! Aint got hte evidence? Baffle em with BS
