But the species remains e. coli, no matter how long it's been in existence.

Macro evolution is the development of a new species through changes to an earlier species, an alleged example bein ape to man.




Macro evolution is a term used by Young Earth Creationist in an attempt to deny the greater reality of evolution.

By definition "Macro Evolution" is just evolution on a geologic time scale. So if you grant micro evolution, but deny macro evolution, you are by default denying the existence of geologic time scales, which of course is the position of the biblical literalist YEC's.
