When I took this class, oh... back in 2001 or so, the biology book we used did go into micro and macro evolution as legitimate scientific concepts.
At any time was it used to deny the whole of evolution?
No, of course not. But it wasn't
meaningless and it wasn't an
attempt to confuse laymen.
I just wanted to let you know that you were mistaken with the whole micro and macro thing not being scientific.
