'Macroevolution' is a straw man. Evolution progresses by SMALL steps over a LONG time. The rate does vary widely, but the speed (obviously, if you think about it) has to be measured in GENERATIONS of the organism involved, not in physical time. So tiny, fast-breeding organisms can evolve 'quickly' in our view, if 1 day is six generations. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
