Re: Micro vs Macro
how would macro-evolution be observed? i understand that the different species in plants would prevent interbreeding, but how can that be observed in teh span of all life?

Re: Micro vs Macro
yes i mean all of history, but when we look at fossils, what makes you think one or the other was related, or even are similar? an African American and a Japanese American look completely different, but when they are dead, their bones are completely the same. what would make you think that one was african american and one was japanese american just by looking at the bones? it cannot.
so then i say this, how can macro-evolution be observed when all we can see are fossils and those are not good enough to prove that to you.
in your dandelion example, i understood all of that taking place and i agree, but look there is an observer. if some person looked at the entire field of short dandelions and had no knowledge of what HAD happened, how in the world would they decide the dandelions were long before? You said there is no fossil record, so how would they know this? you see? your example had an observer, we cannot observe the past because we were not there. my example about an african american and a japanese american is also a way to prove that fossils are a fraction of what that being was.
the bird species, i dont understand how you would know the feather colors when all you see are bones. please explain that more because you guys are making cities out of two small blocks of rock.
