randman,
I think I understand what you are saying about microevolution not leading to macroevolution but I was wondering if you could clear up this statement for me. I think I must not be understanding reproduction.

And yet microevolution does occur without mutations. Heck, if you have a baby without the baby having a mutation, microevolution has occurred, OK?
I don't see how you can have children
without a mutation. My son does not have the same nose as either my wife or myself. Is this not a mutation?
It was my understanding that almost every time DNA makes a copy of itself it is not a perfect copy. Is that not a mutation?
Thanks for clearing that up.
