Micro-Evolution: Changes occuring within a species, that are passed down to the next generation. Example: Squirrels changing into a different type of squirrell, one with bushy tail, and one with skin folds like wings. Both, at the end of the day, are still squirrells.
Macro-Evolution: Changes occuring throughout nature, that cause species to become a different type of species: Example: Primordial soup amoebas grow into fish, which evolve into frogs, which evolve into reptiles, which somehow evolves into mammals with fur, which evolves into men, dogs, sheep, cows and whatever else. Soup to Man.

I agree that Micro-Evolution occurs and is visible, and is ALSO a fact. IOW, squirrells can evolve into different types of squirrells, but not into fish. Macro evolution is the idea that all life on earth "evolved" from a primordial soup and bacteria. That's the part creationists have a problem with.
And again, juju, this thread isn't about whether religion is right or wrong, so please keep those comments out of the discussion.
