Macro and Micro Evolution

quote:

---

given our technology we should be able to mutate a species to the point of macroevolving to another.

That would be macroCREATION and not macroevolution. I may be wrong but I believe we have already done this. I know there are some patented new species of mice or rats, and there was that glowing rabbit.Anyhow, macroevolution has been seen outside of labs. Usually in plants. It takes a while, but I believe the evolutionary process is thought to be able to form a new species within as little as 10,000 years. Maybe it was 100k. This is a reason why transitional entities are unlikely to end up in the fossil record.------------------

Sorry if I confused things, but I took the following quote to imply he did not accept that there were changes at the species level, and that macroevolution was change at the species level...

quote:

Macroevolution (any evolutionary change at or above the level of species)

Did I miss something in this?------------------
