Re: so can you define macroevolution or not?

photoreceptor cells complex. That simple first eye. Photoreceptor cells are blind to selection unless there is transmission, reception and translation of the signals. Otherwise the organism has no advantage.
​
Macro-E has to demonstrate how a sensory system like this can be built randomly without knowledge of purpose.
​
flagellum motor? How does macro-E build these systems one piece at a time if they are blind to selection until they are built and working?
​
As these are standard ID arguments - in fact the eye 'problem' was posed by Darwin himself - that have been answered many times, I assume you are looking for something additional to the answers you will have already read (assuming that you have read beyond what only creationist publish).
​
Perhaps if you pick one and say why it doesn't satisfy you and we can have a go at that for you.

Re: What is macro-evolution?

​
It seems to me that it really is that simple.
​
I think it's even simpler. I think many that use the term think it means a cow turning into a whale or, more usually, monkeys into men.
​
They simply can't accept that 'proper' animals - ie not bacteria - can change over time to the extent that the ToE claims that they do.
​
To be fair, it IS a mind boggling concept and I still shake my head at it sometimes.
