The unproven theory that natural selection can, given enough time, transform an organism into a completely different kind of organism. This process requires that the genetic material of an organism must be added to. One method this could be produced by is the "duplication and divergance", of genes [1]. Macroevolution also requires a large number of helpful mutations. Creationists claim that scientific data regarding mutations causing the significant changes necessary for macroevolution is extremely damaging to the macroevolutionary position. [1][2]
