I don't think any reasonable creationist is arguing against microevolution. It exists. Period. There's tangible and undeniable proof, and it in no way contradicts creationism.
How would you define microevolution and macroevolution? Where do you draw the line on the continuum, so to speak?

I'd draw the same line in correlation to how I'm learning about it in my college Biology class; microevolution referring to small changes over a long time, and macroevolution referring to large changes. Example, for micro, specifically species adapting to a change in the environment for example, by maybe growing more fur or something to that nature. For macro, I'd use the same example I said before, but not limited to, some sort of primate becoming a human. Small change with strong evidence, as opposed to large change that has just as much evidence as the Bible does---just enough to where you need to put faith in to believe in it.
Small changes (micro-) can accumulate. The sum total of that type of accumulation can and often times does add up to a large scale change (macro-). You can see that as true right?
