Where Is Macro-Evolution Occurring

You're using the term macroevolution like it's something that 'happens' every day. What the term really means is the evolutionary heritage of diverse organisms can be traced to a common ancestor, through morphological and genetic examination. The family trees that are constructed this way contain branchings that constitute 'high-level' change, giving rise to very different lineages.As for not being able to witness this first-hand, it's a process that typically spans hundreds of millions of years. The accumulation of small changes adds up to this high-level change. It's like saying we measure hot days with a thermometer, and heat waves are what we call a succession of hot days.

Hey Mark,

You have made an assertion, you are now obliged to show why abiogenesis is impossible.

It's convenient that only The New Guy gets to summon miracles to defend his theory's scientific plausibility. On the other hand, why do you always have to do things the hard way?regards,

Marko,I just want to know why the New Guy gets to bring a miracle to the table every time he needs to fill the holes, I mean complement the scientific rigor of his theory. Maybe you should adopt the same strategy, and quit looking for plausible scientific mechanisms for species evolution. Forget genetics, atomic physics, population studies, comparative anatomy, and the rest of the subjects that you've studied to lend support to the validity of evolutionary theory. If you take a tip from the New Guy, you could just call it a miracle and Q.E.D., dude.regards,
