Why get into micro/macro in the first place?
I don't claim to be an evolutionary biologist but I have had courses in evolution and I don't ever remember the terms microevolution or macroevolution being used. I think these terms are a creationist construct to explain away solid evidence for plain old evolution. The funny thing is, the serious Noah's Ark apologists have to invoke greatly speeded up evolutionary rates in order to get all of the animals on the ark (the whole "kinds" thing). And they would have you believe that getting a lion from a housecat is not macroevolution.
