Batten summarizes:

... variation within a kind, such as through breeding or
adaptation, is not evolution. All the biological genetic "ev-
idence" for evolution is actually variation within a kind,
not evolution at all. 183

The Micro- and Macro-Evolution Errors

As you see, the science of genetics has revealed that the
variations that Darwin imagined accounted for the origin of
species in fact bear no such significance.
Therefore, evolutionist biologists have been forced to

distinguish between variation within species and the forma-
tion of new species, and to advance two separate concepts
regarding them. They gave the name micro-evolution to
variation within species, and defined the formation of en-
tirely new species as macro-evolution.
The concept of macro-evolution was first used in 1927
by the Russian biologist Juri'i Filipchenko. 184 The idea that

micro-evolution could be used as evidence for macro-evo-
lution was proposed by a student of Filipchenko's,
Theodosius Dobzhansky, in the 1930s. In his book Genetics
and The Origin of Species, one of the basic texts of
Darwinism, Dobzhansky suggested that the mechanisms of
micro- and macro-evolution were the one and the same. 185
