> Comments like "macroevolution does not take place" stem from ignorance about what these terms mean.

as do comments like "Evolution is change in allele frequencies in a breeding population over time. That's all. It is genetic change in a species. It is natural, observable, and in fact unavoidable and unstoppable due to constant mutations that accumulate in the genome.".
there is not enough evidence to say for sure whether or not macroevolution takes place.
