Also, I feel that some of the problem might be from the false dichotomy created by creationary debaters, who distinguish between "macro-" and "micro-" evolution, even though one implies the other.  And the punctuated equilibrium/gradualism debate, which concerns the rate of instant acceleration (think of it as the second & third  derivatives of evolutionary change), has also been misconstrued by the same, in a [[deceit|deceitful]] attempt to make a mountain out of a molehill.  I'd be happy to explain both of these in more detail if it clears up your definition; I feel like many of the "points" creationary debaters think they have are actually either misunderstandings, mischaracterizations, or deliberate deceit created in an attempt to delude the public, and undermine confidence in science.

As a final note, of course evolution is never "proven."  No scientific theory is ever "proven," since new evidence will always emerge to require adaptation of theories.  All that we can ask is that a scientific theory reflect the present evidence, and contemplate the inclusion of future evidence... a pass which evolution passes with flying colors.-[[User:MichaelS|MichaelS]] 23:44, 1 October 2007 (EDT)
