| − | '''Macroevolution''' is the theory that [[natural selection]] can, given enough time, lead to the creation of new [[clade]]s which are groups of organisms consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor. Macroevolution also requires a large number of beneficial mutations. The scientific data regarding mutations causing the significant changes necessary for macroevolution is extremely damaging to the macroevolutionary position.[http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/mutations.asp][http://www.trueorigin.org/mutations01.asp] | + | '''Macroevolution''' is the theory that [[natural selection]] can, given enough time, lead to the creation of new [[clade]]s which are groups of organisms consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor.
