Re: The result is what scientist call microevolution.

Can people stop saying that scientists don't use the terms micro and macro...because they do.
You misunderstood us.
We never said that scientists don't use the terms, because they do. What we said was that scientists use the terms differently than what creationists and non-scientists think what those terms mean.
It's like saying x=y and then proceed in the conversation sometimes using x and sometimes using why. If we look back at the givens, we'd see that x is really y, but most people don't pay attention to this. They think that x != y.
The terms micro and macro evolution are used for descriptions rather than two different things. It's like walking to your friend's place and walking to another town. They're both walking, but one describes walking to your friend's house and the other walking to another town.
