What?
I don't really care o.O I don't believe evolution to be the reason for the season in the first place.

Plus, based on your "logic," that didn't make you right and me wrong. Because "truth is relative per individual"  ;)

Actually, I guess I'll comment on it.

Macro-evolution is largely influenced by "Allopatric Speciation" - the idea that members of a species separated by geography or emigration will evolve differently based on their surroundings.
I believe this to be adaption.
Both micro and macro could very well be plausible. But this doesn't mean that a horse will grow a dorsal fin and breathe under-water.

And keep in mind that the evolution from one color of letter to another is infinitesimally less complicated than the conversion from the DNA of a seal to the DNA of a falcon.

I don't even. Did you not read his statement? Evolution isn't a fish evolving a ****ing dorsal fin. That has nothing to do with the concept in the slightest. Millions of years=gradual change.

I was born an elephant, i have evolved.

I believe this; you've have plenty of time to evolve.

King, you've submitted to me that you understand and absolutely adhere to microevolutionary theory. By default, due to your lack of understanding, you adhere to macroevolutionary theory and thus, the theory of evolution. Stumped!

Quote from: XrowI agree that microevolution exists.

1. Prove I said that.
2. If I said that, prove I wasn't brainwashed or being forced to say it.

3. If they are the same thing, then why do they have very different names? =)
