Donald Howes: I take it you are not talking about random mutations, selective pressure sounds like natural selection, impling micro evolution.>>

How does natural selection imply micro evolution ? Why not also macro-evolution. Is that not what Darwin's ideas are all about ?

Donald Howes: Aren't we saying that random, or even not-totally-random
mutations are what change things most, how does this need selective pressure?>>

Without selective pressure, there is no reason why (random) mutations would have an advantage/disadvantage.
