I'm not huge into drawing much distinction between micro- and macro- evolution. Under Modern Evolutionary Synthesis the two differ only by time and scale. And even then, time is not always a distinguishing factor.

Each to there own.
But you realise there is a pretty big difference between the two?

Depending on tact you take, there can either be a large distinction between the two, or indeed there can be no real distinction between the two. The difference between the two is certainly not fundamental.

That said, we aren't here to debate evolution, the big bang, general relativity, quantum mechanics or any such theory. These debates often get out of hand and I certainly don't want any part of that. I was purely using evolution to describe the nomenclature used in science. It probably would have been wiser to use QM...

I agree BadBird, I have seen many threads on other forums turn ugly when debating the mentioned topics.
