Micro vs Macro evolution?

Question

How can you possibly believe in one but not the other?

At what point does god intervene and say:

"Ok that's enough you guys gotta cut that out, there will be no more genetic variation and adaption in your species, you keep this up and we'll have speciation, and we simply can't have that"

Answer 1

There is no 'micro' and 'macro' - there is only evolution. I like your question :-)

Answer 2

Its really simple.
Micro-evolution is not really evolution as most think of the idea, its variation or adaptation within the specie. What we see every day, and has absolutely nothing to do with evolution. For instance, in the finch. One may have a long beak and another may have a short beak, but they are both a finch, neither will ever become a butterfly or a dingo.
Macro-evolution is the evolution we all think about when we hear the term. That is a cow turning into a whale or a t- rex turning into a feathered bird. Something that has never happened, and there is no evidence to even suggest it is even possible.
"Micro"-evolution is a misnomer. We should call it what it is-not what it ain't.

Answer 3

The problem with the "THEORY of evolution" is this, It is a "THEORY." That means it has never been scientificily proven to the community where they can now call it "FACT." The reason evolution will never be fact is that is is false science. True science reveals "intelligent design." That is why one of the leading Darwinists stated this: “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.” One then has to ask Mr. Crick, why must biologist "CONSTANTLY" keep it in mind? Well because everything they look at under powerful microscopes reveals more than Darwin ever had a chance to see, and because everything these biologist look at appears to have been intelligently designed, but they must remember, it was not??????? What kind of illogical thinking is that? If I found a watch in the woods, I know it didn't evolve, but that someone intelligently designed it. Same with microscopic life and how it all works. Machines, drive shafts, u-joints, manufacturing processes, DNA codes, etc. the list goes on and on and on about what true biologist seeking truth find. And Charles Darwin states this himself: “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous,successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” Well there is so much science, not speculation or theory, that Mr. Darwin's theory has already "absolutely" broken down, yet people cling to it, and these would be athiests who cling to lies so they don't have to look upon the face of a Holy God, an Intelligent God, a Creator God. Why do you think the US Declaration of Independence states, "All men are CREATED equal..." It doesn't say "All men are evolved equally." Our Founding Fathers were also Godly men who strongly believed in Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

Creationist try to separate Micro and Macro evolution because Micro evolution doesn't really change species. It's all bs really. Evolution is still evolution. Anyways, as a Christian, i've come to accept the theory of evolution, which makes more sense and makes a lot of things easier for me. aka no arguements against christianity from evolution to me.

Answer 5

TOE doesn't make a distinction between micro and macro evolution. Those are Creationist terms.

Answer 6

Yes as a Christian I do believe in Micro evolution. It is spelled out in Genesis 1.

Answer 7

Since these are study of evolution at the small and large scale, it would be like finding a zoologist who believes in mice, but not elephants.

Answer 8

I agree, anyone who says they believe in mirco-evolution but not macro- are fooling themselves. Because with all those small changes, there will eventually be bigger and bigger changes.

Answer 9

They're fake words invented by creationists. No scientist uses them.

Answer 10

Human beings can be notoriously illogical.
