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.



Most people of your opinion classify the division in equidae into its three surviving member species (horse, donkey, and zebra) as an example of micro evolution. Do you consider this an example of micro evolution, i.e., the sort of evolution that you accept?


Way I look at it, if the animals can breed with each other successfully, they're the same species.

Is it evolution? Yes, it's micro evolution, differences occurring within a species due to environment or random chance.

African elephants can't breed with Asian elephants. Different species, at the present time.
