Microevolution generally refers to small changes over shorter periods of time, macroevolution consists of a series of small changes that amount to a larger change over a longer period of time. The only difference between the two is the scale at which you are observing. I also question why you think evolution is a theory without a great deal of evidence? It is considered in the scientific community to be one of the theories with the greatest deal of evidence behind it. To take a quote from the National Academy of Sciences "Scientists most often use the word "fact" to describe an observation. But scientists can also use fact to mean something that has been tested or observed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing or looking for examples. The occurrence of evolution in this sense is a fact. Scientists no longer question whether descent with modification occurred because the evidence supporting the idea is so strong." |
Dude, I didn't ask for basic definitions. I mean, give an example. Explain the scale of these changes.
And as far me not supporting a theory (i.e. Macroevolution) without concrete evidence even though the scientific community says otherwise? That's a completely different story, and one best kept to myself.
