Have you even thought about the questions that were posed to you in previous posts? Take them on, one by one. Take your time. They are exactly the kind of questions you should be asking, if only for yourself if you are truly interested in knowing the kind of foundation that your belief system is built on. So far, it appears to be a little shaky.

Common usage was adequate before the molecular revolution. The criteria and precision of how to parse the natural world has drastically changed in the past 30 years with the flood of new scientific information since molecular tools first became available. I can't know when you were in school but by your posts, it is clear that you need to visit a modern library, perhaps take a current molecular biology course, have fewer dinners with college presidents whose chief job is to pimp for endowments and and see what you have been missing.


I quoted from an online encyclopedia. How do you get more current than that? I suppose you want me to believe that you are more brilliant than they?

Exactly what defines one species from another is a human construct and is therefore arbitrary. Let me help you with the logic. If what defines a species is arbitrary, and your definition of what is micro and macro evolution is hinged on the definition of species, then the definition of micro and macro is arbitrary. As you have stated in an earlier post, you have no problem with 'micro evolution'. If micro is no different than macro, congratulations, you are an evolutionist. And I did not mean that as a derogatory insult.


Of course it is of human construction, the animals did not write their own diagnosis. The scientific definitions of species are not as arbitrary as you would make them. Your theory can only survive on smoke and mirrors, otherwise a clearer understanding of families of species would show you clearly wrong. If species are arbitrary to the point you intend to make it, your logic would prove too much, for it would prove nothing at all, other than all is arbitrary. The arbitrary would be the absolute of your logic...except that you could never be absolutely sure about the arbitrary or it would no longer be arbitrary....
