The distinction between "macro" and "micro" evolution mostly a constructed one. There is no such distinction in reality; macro evolution is simply the accumulation of many "micro" changes. Once many "micro" evolutionary processes are undergone, and the original organism has diverged from the original population so far as for them to be no longer mutually fertile, you have a "macro" change. They're not different, one is just an extension of the other.
Ah yes, why does science choose evolution over intelligent design? Because one is a theory that fits well with empirical evidence and provides useful conclusions, while the other is an intellectual dead-end.
Scientists are the MOST open-minded people. Ref: 6:15
Intelligent design is not scientific - it has not been proved by manipulation of variables. Although I conceded that it is a popular theory even among scientists.
Richard Dawkins - probably being facetious.
If you're really 'open minded' - read into what defines scientific study - start with stuff about correlation vs. causation. It's holeproof logic and can really be useful in all aspects of your life.
Scientists are often the MOST open minded people around. As Tim says - if you can show THAT it works and HOW it works - a good scientist will believe it.
Intelligent design isn't scientific. I is not proved by manipulating specific variables. I do agree, however, that it is probably the most popular justification for the existence of god among scientists
;) Well as a Biological Sciences student who's literally looking at evidence for it, and not reading junk websites like AnswersInGenesis, trust me, there is evidence for Macroevolution.
Scientists aren't trying to prove it with more and more theories. It's proven on it's own merits, However all other theories in biology tie into it (For example the theory of genetic inheritence) and they fit together perfectly. The phylogenetic tree of life is a good example of this. :)

I like to walk around and say this.
does evolution not have a dead beginning if intelligent design has a dead-end??
good explaination .. i'll try and remember that , as i get tongued tied trying to explain that macro & micro are in essence the same thing
