No, of course not. But it wasn't meaningless and it wasn't an attempt to confuse laymen.
It is for creationist camps.
I just wanted to let you know that you were mistaken with the whole micro and macro thing not being scientific.
All evolution is on a micro level and never a macro level, is my point. You don't get from an elephant to a manatee over night. It is all through slight gradations over time that lead up to a bigger picture. That would be evident in what they refer to as microevolution. But that's ALL evolution really is.
Where they seem hung up on is that it only goes so far, saying things like "You can never get a cat from a dog!" Well, yeah, no shit, but that's not how it works and there is not a single evolutionary biologist who would insinuate otherwise.
"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind." -- Bertrand Russell
