I never said macro evolution doesn't select from existing genes. Where did you get that idea from? The distinction betweenmicro and macro is that one ONLY selects from pre-existing genes/traits where the other not only selects from pre-existing genes but creates entirely new ones through "mutation".
It's not just the mutation of existing genes but mutation that leads to new and more complex features and functions. We've seen genes mutate and degrade already existing features and functions but have we ever seen genes mutate and form new ones?
Yes we have and the fossil record shows it. You're not going to see a single generation jump to something entirely new. That's not how evolution works. Small adaptations and mutations add up over extreme periods of time to show something that looks entirely new.
And this distinction you're talking about between macro and micro only exists in your head. That's not the science you're arguing against. It's something retarded you're making up so you can argue about evolution.
Evolution has been occurring for billions of years already. Most of the biological systems you see now are the result of that. Nature adapts to its environment. I'd enjoy hearing you explain the extensive fossil record and why it shows transition fossils
