Hi JBozz, welcome to EvC Forum.
There's a few issues that need to be settled before we can promote your thread. First, this is highly controversial and could be a thread all by itself:
Macro evolution decreases the amount of genetic information available within a population and actually makes the population less able to adapt to changing circumstances because it does not have as much to go off of.
You later repeat this assertion in slightly different form:
Macro evolution only increases animal diversity but decreased genetic diversity within the populations.
I suggest you remove these assertions by editing your
Message 1. If it becomes too big an issue during the discussion we can decide what to do then.
Second, I think if you read the reference you provided you'll see that this statement is inaccurate and needs to be fixed:
Third, you might have set your expectations a bit too high:
Is there any proof for Macro-evolution?
Nothing is ever proved in science. Given the tentative nature of all science, its capacity for revision in light of new information or improved thinking, it would be extremely inconvenient if anyone ever actually
*proved* anything. The goal of science is evidence sufficient for formulating frameworks of understanding that we call theories.
As long as you understand that what you're really requesting is evidence, not proof, then we're good on this last issue.
If you address the first two issues then I'll promote your thread.
