Only if you completely miss my point that they believe in “micro” evolution at thousands of times the rate that anyone has ever observed.

Moreover most creationists define “macro” evolution as a speciation event leading to the common descent of species.

Apparently they DO believe in the (semi) common descent of species - and thus “macro” evolution.

Would you consider the differentiation between a mouse and a rat to be a “micro” change or a “macro” change? How about between a gorilla and an orangutan?

Most creationists believe that ‘macro’ evolution is something that hasn’t been observed. Like Santa Claus. It has a name but that doesn’t mean you believe in it.

Both rats and mice (Or gorilla and Orangutan) could be on an Ark of course so I’m not sure how that makes a point here.

How does impossible grab you?

Rats have 21 chromosome pairs. Mice have 20. There is no way to go from one to the other overnight or over millions of years.
