Re: macroevolution is the only explanation
That is my point, inference, guess, speculation, conjecture.
You seem to be equating those terms, as if they all mean the same thing. They don't.
There it is again infer.
All of science is based on inference. You can't name one single scientific theory that doesn't rely on inference. If you are going to condemn the Theory of Evolution because it relies on inference, you are condemning all of science. You are of course free to do so, but just keep in mind that this is in fact a condemnation of all of science and not just the Theory of Evolution.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

A creo comes in, asks for evidence, hand waves it away and displays a deep misunderstanding about the nature of scientific investigation. And this morning, the sun rose in the east.
