:* First, although not all that relevant, it is not correct to say that "AiG has the leading creationists".  Most of the leading creationists are not employed by AiG, but by ICR, CMI, or other (sometimes secular) organisations.  AiG does employ a few, and a number of the leading creationists do speak and/or write for AiG, but even so they have no exclusivity to "leading creationists".

:* Second, the first reference (an article by DeWitt) does refer to macroevolution, but doesn't make a big deal about the distinction.

:* Third, and most importantly, the second reference was to a book by Jonathan Sarfati and Michael Matthews.  [[Jonathan Sarfati]] works for CMI, not AiG.  But more to the point, they say in that book, "The main scientific objection to the GTE is not that changes occur through time, and '''neither is it about the size of the change''' [i.e. it's not about micro- versus macro-] ('''so I would discourage use of the terms micro- and macro-evolution'''..." (emphasis added).  Also, the article "Arguments we think creationists should NOT use" elaborates on this point [http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/faq/dont_use.asp#micro_macro].  In other words, his own source refutes him.
