Well, I am able to consider the fact that macro-evolution may not have occurred but that poses more problems than it is able to solve.

Like what?

One more thing I want to know is whether all species that ever lived (animal or plant) were created at one point in the past or whether they were created consecutively.

My inclination would be to say consecutively.

Some argue that all species were created at once but if you hold this view you have to take into consideration that the species that exist today represent only a small fraction of the overall number of species (with those that died out being by far the biggest part). So the problem is where did all these critters and plants exist? And the problem becomes even more apparent if we take into consideration that a species consisted not only of two specimen but of many more.

On the other they could have been created over a long span of time. This of course is absolutely consistent with the fossil record. So if a species died out, God could have created a new one, maybe even one that resembled the original one. But then one can ask why this doesn't happen today.
