Answer 1

I've seen that before, and it's not much more then a joke, and done by people that have no concept of what evolution is. There is no concept in science of "Macro" and "Micro" evolution, it's evolution... Period. Small changes over a small period of time, end up being big changes over a period of millions of years. Something that the maker of that movie has no concept of.

Answer 2

Jean check it out. It says the same thing that you said. It just uses professional people to raise questions about evolution that can't be answered. I think you will like it

Answer 3

The video claims that science relies EXCLUSIVELY on observation. Consider forensic science. It is able to apply the laws of physics and observations of many past material behaviors to make accurate conclusions about what happened, when it happened, and how it happened without ever being witness to the event. That the interviewer in the video does not like the scientific definition of speciation, nor understands the intricacies of evolution, is not the problem of the random, non-biologists he interviewed.

I would also question the truthfulness of the video since one of the persons supposedly supporting evolution used the creationist term "macro-evolution" rather than "speciation".

Answer 4

Macro and Micro evolution are scientifc definition but not in the way creationists understand it which makes neo-Darwinists reluctant to use the word. When using "kind" I gather you mean "species?" Well this is impossible in evolution because that would require one branch of the evolutionary tree to jump to another branch.
