is accepting micro-evolutio and not macro evolution like...?

Question

saying you accept the second hand on a clock when rotating, will move the minute hand, but not that it will eventually move the hour hand too.

Answer 1

actually I really try not to use the word micro-evolution, because all it simply means is a variation within the same species. That has been observed. Macro-evolution, has not been observed. A cat has never produced a non-cat. I call micro, a variation because that is what it is. The clock remains in tact.

Answer 2

Invalid analogy.
One can easily disassemble a clock and see the mechanism that connects the different hands (tho typically, the second hand is independent of the others.) By studying micro-evolution, what we see is that the critter studied has slight changes that do not change its species, and if there are other changes any more dramatic, that it actually dies (and the code for those changes dies with it.)
True: Darwin had a copy of Gregor Mendel's "Genetics" in his library. The pages were uncut. That is, Darwin had near him the proof that species retain genetic codings recessively and do NOT keep changes to their DNA. The whole "spotted moth" incident was invented later to try to hide this gaping hole in Darwin's theory. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mendel's book still disproves Darwin with some actual science of observe and repeat. (Have you ever read "Origin of the Species"? It's all conjecture; no proof.)

Answer 3

To be a scientific fact not just a theory, you must reproduce it in the lab. Only micro is science.

Is a Bull Dog and a hot dog both dogs?
Just because they have the same name and one is a dog does not mean the other is a dog also.
Same thing for the different kinds of evolution. Just because one is real do not meant the others are also real.

Answer 4

no

its like saying a dog can become a poodle

but an orchid cant become a crocodile

there is a controlversy regarding point evolution with small gradual changes and many would claim in every point mutation infomration is the same or less and as animals in a species become more specific information is actually winding down...
macro infomration requires information is increasing and this is highly controverted
see "In the Beginning was Information" by WErner Gitt

Answer 5

Micro evoultion is believing 2 kind of the same species can breed and make a new kind, like a wolf and a Shepard would make some other type of Dog, You are comparing that to saying a duck can become a worm or a monkey a human 9(Macro Evolution). @ completely different things there genius. Not even on the same clock.

Answer 6

Not at all, because microevolution is small changes as a result to the environment. The macro evolution is an extream change on a large scale for no reason. They are two different subjects, so it is easy to separate the two.

Answer 7

Very good analogy. Macro- and microevolution are one and the same. The only difference is the length of time involved.

Answer 8

correct. There is no known barrier that would allow micro evolution and prevent macro evolution.

hahaha, read Stacy B's answer, she obviously has NO IDEA what she is talking about whatsoever.

Answer 9

Well, yes.
But you're still not going to convince the fundies, no matter what argument you put forward. They don't respond to logic, reason and observations very well.
I think a better question to ask them is what do they have against monkeys, anyway?

Answer 10

I can't top you. It's like "slightly pregnant". I'm fond of saying that intelligent design is the argument that if your watch doesn't have a second hand, you can't tell time.
