Definition of Evolution

In my posts I generally use the word "evolution" as short for the term macro-evolution.

Macro-evolution means that people came from monkeys, monkeys came from slugs, slugs came from slime, slime came from mud, mud came from a quantum fluctuation during a big bang, etc., etc. Or we can simply say that macro-evolution is "man from mud" theory. A valid scientific theory must be substantiated by evidence in observation or testing. This type of evolution has neither observation nor testing going for it. It is a very weak theory, scientifically-speaking. Its strength comes from other areas besides science.

Micro-evolution, on the other hand, is a term for the small changes and adaptations to living things that occur over time. It is a scientific theory supported by much evidence in observation and testing. For instance, if you eat McDonald's double-cheeseburgers and fries, three meals per day for 365 days, you will evolve (by micro-evolution) into something else. But you won't be a giraffe or an antelope, you'll still be a person (but maybe a hippopotamus?).
