NoNukes writes: Even that minor amount of research is completely unecessary. RAZD presented definitions for both micro and macro-evolution right before asking Big Al for his definitions. Ok...can you tell me what his definition was then?

Re: Definitions - macro, micro, are they different?
Which one is it? And why would you need a definition from me when you have so many available to yourself?

Re: So, Big_Al35, what is MACROevolution?
Still waiting for that "observed" example or at least a definition of what you mean by observed.

Re: So, Big_Al35, what is MACROevolution?
Percy writes: we have only directly observed macroevolution in very short-lived species, such as bacteria, fruit flies Surely, macro-evolution in bacteria should be referred to as micro-evolution by its very nature?

Re: So, Big_Al35, what is MACROevolution?
Percy writes: "Micro" is a modifier of "evolution", not of "bacteria". "Micro" refers to the degree of evolutionary change, not to the size of the organism. Bacteria can experience a macroevolutionary degree of change. All references to evolution on bacteria are referred to as micro not macro. A simple google search will tell you that. Here is one example Examples of microevolution - Understanding Evolution
Percy writes: But you seem to be arguing away from the topic. The question is the difference between micro and macroevolution. You seem to want to argue whether macroevolution ever happens. Well there is no point in defining macro-evolution if it doesn't happen.

Re: So, Big_Al35, what is MACROevolution?
Percy writes: A simple Google search of "bacteria macroevolution" returns 148,000 results, and of "bacteria speciation" returns 740,000 results. Perhaps you had a typo when you tried it? Sorry, no typos. Here is another example which illustrates my point that even articles discussing macroevolution in bacteria are unsure about the definition and indicate that it might just aswell be called microevolution. http://carm.org/...ctually-observing-macroevolution-bacteria
