One of the problems we face in the modern information age is the ease with which those with an ulterior agenda and less than honorable scruples can publish and proliferate misinformation as easily as information. Once the internet becomes saturated with enough of this bogus material, it is not long before unsuspecting and quite often well meaning people are contributing to the problem by referencing, linking to and further distributing this same bogus material. These dynamics are particularly evident when young earth creationists attempt to refute the scientific theory of evolution. Due to the enormous volume of this stuff, it can only be dealt with in small portions at a single time. Looking at the term "Macro evolution", . . . courtesy of the efforts of some creationists, there are many who actually believe the term means one species changing into another species virtually overnight. Many of these same people demand to be shown examples of this ridiculous feat before they will consider evolution as legitimate. You have probably seen the most laughable example of this offered on national TV by a former child star who like many others who haven't the foggiest notion of what they are attempting to refute, actually thinks the image below forms a real counter argument. This is the "crocoduck", taken from a children's story and used by an adult (without showing one iota of embarrassment) as a means of refuting a legitimate scientific theory. I hate to burst anyone's bubble but the scientific theory of evolution does not suggest that this ridiculous example is possible, on the contrary, the principles of evolution would never allow it to happen. Quite often you will see post and blog headlines misusing the term "Macro evolution" but as a great deal of this material is quite often interlaced with actual facts it is sometimes difficult for the average person to discern this erroneous usage. One dead giveaway is if you see Charles Darwin's name in the same sentence, especially in the possessive such as "Darwin's macro evolution". Why you ask? The term was not defined until 45 years after his death. Someone should tell the young earth creationists that a few things have changed in what we know about evolution since Darwin's time. Check out this link for more on this. What does the term "macro evolution" actually mean? Today it is most often used to describe changes in a species above the species level. In other words: changes in a species that occur without the exchange of genetic material amongst the population of that species. More on this HERE
