How can we dispute macroevolution? People can argue that it is because it is beyond the span of one life time it can't be effectively messured - but then thats the great thing about writing and the genetic record. Darwin based his arguements on macroevolution - botanical and biological... for example plants and/or animals that have been effectively changed into a new species through domestication. Darwin wrote about the origin of species through natural selection - not spontaneous appearance; but a gradual favouring of mutations/traits that eventually would lead to a great enough alteration of an organism that it must be classified as a seperate species.
