Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Creationism vs Evolution

Another quick answer.. One major problem in a lot of arguements in the understanding of the words being used.. First off....
there is a common misunderstanding that micro, and mcaro evolution have anything in common. They are completely seperate, and vastly different.
Creationists frequently say we beleive in micro evolution, (This is true, however, Microevolution is improperly named.. ) There is no evolution in microevolution.. it is simple breeding, and genetics that is micro evolution... it should be reffered to as natural selection. This is a great thing! it also has nothing to do with evolution.

Macro evolution is the speculative idea that natural selection, somehow working over huge time spans, and mutation, and errors, somehow lead to completely new forms of animals..

I would like to propose that if anyone has a problem with the above, please lets discuss it... but.. and this is a but... can we please refrain from using micro evolution, as a word that somehow implies any help to macro evolution. (I do not feal backed into a corner, or beat up) I just wanted to clarify the understanding of the terms we are using. Perhaps if anyone disagrees they can post their definition, for the rest of us to agree with?!?

Cheers!! and if we don't talk till the end of the weekend, make it a good one!
