Id like the concepts of microevolution and macroevolution better related to the debate over evolution Moreover I think they are best used as terms that define the debate rather than concepts in themselves to be disputed    The theory of evolution if it is indeed scientifically sound and almost no one here doubts that should be able to stand on its own merits without you all feeling you must defend it at every point    The various articles which present alternatives to evolution however outlandish or zany they seem to you scienntists require merely a link or two each to the accepted science      Ed Poor
