| − | '''Macroevolution''' is a distinction made by some evolutionists and all [[young earth creationism|biblical creationists]] that separates the change of certain characteristics of a species, from the changes that [[natural selection]], [[mutation]]s, and genetic drift can, given enough time, lead to the creation of new varieties of organisms consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor (see [[Clade]]s). Some prominent modern biologists have made a distinction between microevolution and macroevolution (for example, see quotes of prominent evolutionists below). | + | '''Macroevolution''' is a distinction made by some evolutionists and all [[young earth creationism|biblical creationists]] that separates the change of certain characteristics of various kinds of animals (causing [[species|speciation]]), from the changes that [[natural selection]], [[mutation]]s, and genetic drift can, given enough time, allegedly lead to the creation of new kinds of organisms consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor (see [[Clade]]s) (for example, the false claims of evolutionists that birds are supposedly the descendants of reptiles or that man supposedly descended from a common ancestor of apes). Macroevolution has never happened and the earth is approximately [[Young earth creationism|6,000 years old]] and not billions of years old. Some prominent modern biologists have made a distinction between microevolution and macroevolution (for example, see quotes of prominent evolutionists below). |
