" I differentiate between macro-evolution, (the gradualism
that chance mutations would eventually produce fish, mammals, birds
and reptiles). That is not science, but an unprovable, specious
philosophy that masquerades as a science - and
microevolution,(something that has been proven by the science labs in
repetition and seems to be nothing more than variation within a gene
pool)."
_____________________
REPLY: It's not sensible to regard microeveolution and macroevolution
as separably provable or disprovable as the mechanism accounting for
both are the same in evolutionary theory. Also, genotypic diversity
and cumulative non-random natural selection are responsible for
speciation, not chance mutation.
Best wishes
