Re: 'Macro-Evolution'
What is the difference in the history of 'Macro-Evolution' and
'Macro-Evolution'?
It is what evolution has done compared to what it is doing now.
Why did they say "Instead, we reconstruct the history of life using all available evidence: geology, fossils, and living organisms. "
They don't have a history so they put one together.
Geology and fossils are that history, and those historical events have led to the life we see now. Why are you being so obtuse?
Do you really think it is impossible to reconstruct past events with evidence found in the present? Have you ever watched the TV show CSI?
And I have said I will not argue with talkorigins.
The rules says I should not have to and you should not present them.
I did present specific evidence from the site, and you ignore it. Go figure.

Re: DNA
Is this mRNA strand formed by the DNA in the necleus of the cell?
Nope. mRNA is made by RNA trascriptases. They use DNA as a substrate.
Eliminate the tRNA and what result would you get?
The inability to make proteins. If you have a reaction vessel with hydrogen and oxygen and you ignite it what do you get? Water. If you take away the hydrogen what do you get? No water. The same applies here. When you remove one of the chemical reactants you do not get the product.
Is this information incorrect?
They are good analogies for the process.
Then explain to me how my combining baking soda and vinigar can produce two different reactions by being combined.
When you burn wood you get both carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The same thing applies to all chemical reactants. I know of no chemical reaction that produces just one product. Even the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen will produce water along with trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Any combination of chemicals that is allowable by thermodynamics will probably occur in any reaction.
If the DNA does its job and copies the proper sequence to the mRNA and the tRNA acts upon that information in the ribosome the requested protein is created.
DNA does not make mRNA or tRNA's. DNA is the substrate for enzymes that make these molecules.
Also, any mistakes that are made in the processes of translation and trascription only make it into the protein that is produced from that mRNA product. My educated guess is that very few proteins contain errors made during trascription and translation, and those that do have mistakes are swamped out by correctly made proteins.
Also, errors made in trascription and translation are not heritable. Only mistakes made in DNA replication during the production of gametes are passed on to the next generation.

Re: 'Macro-Evolution'
I could argue that the absence of transitional forms raises doubts as to the process.
For human evolution we do have the transitional forms. So you are agreeing that transitional fossils are evidence for macroevolution?
