Where to begin...

You claim macro-evolution between species but these are in fact the same kind as the DNA obviously reveals.

You claim micro-evolution would have to be far faster than your ‘evo measurements / observations’ - since it is only observed within the last several hundred years at varying rates you only require longer time frames to fit your old earth assumptions imho.

Would the changes between a mouse and a rat be “micro” or “macro”?

How do you define “macro”?

I claim the difference in DNA between species that is observed is in line with the mutation rate observed.

What caused the mutation rate to supposedly increase thousands of times the current rate during the time after the Ark?

So a 2% difference in genetic DNA is perfectly reasonable to happen in a few hundred years, and only a “micro” change - when it happens between two rodents; but a 2% difference in genetic DNA between a human and a chimp is absolutely impossible even after six to seven million years, and is obviously a “macro” change.

The above could only make sense to a Creationist.

To any reasonable and intelligent person it is ludicrous.
