Scientific organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science describe microevolution as small scale change within species, and macroevolution as the formation of new species, but otherwise not being different from microevolution.

As a form of old earth creationism, it accepts mainstream geological and cosmological estimates for the age of the Earth, some tenets of biology such as microevolution as well as archaeology to make its case.

As a Darwinian, I wish to defend Goldschmidt's postulate that macroevolution is not simply microevolution extrapolated, and that major structural transitions can occur rapidly without a smooth series of intermediate stages . . ..

In his book, Kerkut distinguished between the Special Theory of Evolution ( often referred to as microevolution ) and what he termed the General Theory of Evolution ( often referred to as macroevolution, but also including abiogenesis ).

Additionally, the modern evolutionary synthesis draws no distinction in the processes described by the theory of evolution when considering macroevolution and microevolution as the former is simply at the species level or above and the latter is below the species level.

There are practical examples of genetic mutation and by implication, microevolution, that makes it very difficult for scientifically educated anti-evolutionists to dispute the genetic basis of phenotypic inheritance ( though millions of uneducated ones do so quite vehemently ).

Some on the 10-member Kansas Board of Education agreed with Johnson, and in August the board approved science standards that contained references to microevolution, or adaptation, but no mention of macroevolution, or change from one species to another.

:It seems to me that the microevolution / macroevolution distinction shows up mainly in arguments about intelligent design, and in that context you may as well define " microevolution " as the subset of evolutionary processes that ID proponents concede are real.
