Well to be honest I think she was just trying to keep the christians happy while she explained evolution. The no corrolation wasn't nessacarily my view.

Micro-evolution is just de-creation. It is Creation winding down. It is just a jumbling of the already created matter with no knew information being introduced.

It is easy for any Chistian to believe in Micro-evolution it is infact the one and same Natural Selection which was written about by Edward Blythe a Christian scientist 25 years before Darwins book.

Darwin just took it and added his own unproven philosophy of how the world was formed based on his own presuppositions, hence Evolution or Macro-Evolution (Mirco-Evolution does not prove Macro-Evolution.

Just wondering how many times you're going to bring up Edward Blythe's book on natural selection still thinking it is an example of evolution. Oh, and could you define for me what macro-evolution is? I still haven't received a clear answer... and if you could... could you define for me how you are breaking down your phylas to carry on your argument?

Does this prove it??

http://www.brembs.net/metabiology/mcginnis.pdf

I'm no scientists but I did get a crappy night sleep last night.

The title of the article is "Hox Protein mutation and macroevolution of the insect body plan".

So the title says macroevolution..

The authors seem to be from the Cal. Pretty good school in its own right.

They use alot of fancy words that I don't understand..

I'm gonna have to say it proves it.

I've never read blyth, but I have read Darwin, He said natural selection is the mechanism for evolution, makes perfect sense too. Don't know how people see fit to muddy the waters, it's like there trying to complicate it in order to devalue it

Yes, natural selection IS the mechanism for evolution but it is not evolution.
