| − | '''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 that allegedly, given enough time, lead to the creation of radically different, new [[Baraminology|kinds of organisms]] consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor.<ref>https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode=LCCN&searchArg=37033383&searchType=1&permalink=y</ref><ref>https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_48</ref><ref>http://www.dictionary.com/browse/macroevolution</ref><ref>http://www.icr.org/article/what-difference-between-macroevolution-microevolut/</ref> For example, evolutionists have false alleged that [[bird]]s are the descendants of [[reptile]]s and that [[mankind]] descended from a common ancestor of [[ape]]s.
