The difference between Macro Evolution and Micro-Evolution is that while Micro Evolution only allows a species to vary within it's genetic code whereas Macro Evolution requires the ability for an animal to add information to its genetic code, something which has never been observed in Science firsthand.

To Christains, Micro Evolution represents the God-given ability for animals to adapt to their environments. Macro Evolution is something entirely different. In my opinion, Macro Evolution gained its popularity in the scientific community before we had the technology to know better.

To recap, Micro Evolution is a well documented theory, but Macro-Evolution is, at best, an unconfirmed hypothesis. I fail to see how this provides any evidence at all against it, just that it was thought up prematurely doesn't mean that it is wrong, just that there was more time to consider it. Because modern genetic research, not available in Darwin's day, shows us that Macro Evolution cannot happen the same way that Micro Evolution. As previously mentioned, Macro-Evolution requires an organism to add information to its genetic code, something never documented in science. I am merely making the point that the "macro evolution can happen the same way micro evolution does" argument has long ago been disproven. Macro Evolution most be given proof in its own right.
