We've heard this stuff before, perhaps stated with more... sophistication. I sure hope you've got a new take on it.

Re: 'Macro-Evolution'
ICANT, I believe you've lost track of what it is you are trying to prove.
quote:
macroevolution
noun
Definition:
theorized large-scale evolution: evolution theorized to occur over a long period of time, producing major changes in species and other taxonomic groups
Microevolution happens on a small scale (within a single population), while macroevolution happens on a scale that transcends the boundaries of a single species.
The first definition above would include major changes within a species, as well as changes exceeding species boundaries. That definition is not consistent with the second definition that you cite.
Secondly, I'm sure you are aware that not all canines are of a single species. I suspect that you will agree wolves are the ancestors of domestic dogs. But using either of the definitions you've cited, that ancestry is the result of macro-evolution.
The stated goal is to prove that Macro-Evolution does not occur. The normal way to do that is to say that Macro-Evolution is evolution from one kind of animal to another. You are not suppose to acknowledge the word species as anything more than an artificial classification made up by scientists to deny God. Instead you are suppose to talk about baramins and about "wolfy" kinds.
On the other hand, you are supposed to allow evolution between species but within a kind so that all of the present day land animals can be descended from the animals that would fit on the ark. Instead you are undermining Noah.
I think we have our answer. Regardless of the truth, you cannot disprove Macro-Evolution. At least not this way.
