Because the concept of macro-evolution is a scientific
concept, rather than a mathematical or logical concept, then
proof is unavailable.
On the other hand, as a proponent of naturalistic
evolution, I fully agree with your comments about
macro-evolution. I also see no compelling evidence that
macro-evolution - as one or more processes that are
intrinsically different to micro-evolution - occurs.
Some people, however, choose to refer to long sequences of
micro-evolution as macro-evolution. To my mind, this is
unnecessary and only causes confusion.

Roughly translated: "Believe and do whatever people who
claim to speak for God tell you to believe and do; don't
think for yourself, but allow the people who claim to speak
for God do your thinking for you." Good advice? I think not!
