There is macroevolution (molecule-to-man theory) and microevolution (no increase in complexity and no new species).
And then there is natural selection, which decreases the amount of variation of a species.
It's very important to keep different things separate.
- jballanc 18y agoMacroevolution vs. microevolution is a false dichotomy dreamed up by the Creationism/ID crowd. It's the way they allow themselves to acknowledge incontrovertible evidence for evolution, like acquiring antibiotic resistance, while still denying evolution. Unless you can give me a strict definition of the boundary between macro and micro, then they're all the same governed by the same laws.
