Oh so it was actually a tangent.

You've shown how deep seated the problem (with not defining terms) is in this thread. I've been pointing out all along that scientists can mean different things when they use the term, and you come back with "how science uses it." The reason this is a problem is it leaves things open for a nice little bait and switch.
"Evolution is a proven fact, anyone who doesn't believe in evolution must be grossly underinformed."
Using:
Evolution: Natural selection, aka micro evolution
Evolution: Undirected mutation resulting in development of entirely new species.

In science there is no distinction between microevolution and macroevolution. This is something made up by evolution deniers. There isn't any controversy within academia, all of this stuff comes from external sources (like creationism).
