Since when was the term "macro-evolution" considered valid? Sounds like the anti-evolutionists perceive modern evolutionary theory as a parody of pokemon. I'm sorry, fundies, but the world doesn't go from charmander, to charmeleon, to charizard.
There is no "micro" or "macro" evolution. There is evolution. Dictionary.com defines evolution as "any process of formation or growth; development." Genetic evolution is the process of one species adapting and growing according to environmental stimulus and natural selection. What you are thinking of, when you think of the laughable term, "macro-evolution," is call speciation. Speciation is defined as "the formation of new species as a result of geographic, physiological, anatomical, or behavioral factors that prevent previously interbreeding populations from breeding with each other." So, by saying you believe in "micro-evolution," you're really just saying you believe in evolution.
