@eidolon:
"Perhaps you would do well to learn the difference. Microevolution and adaptation are synonymous."
Incorrect. Microevolution, changes in allele frequency within a species of breeding group, need not be adaptive.
"With adaptation, disadvantageous or deleterious characteristics are extinguished and beneficial characteristics are promoted. The adaptation process is conservative and results in a net loss of genetic information."
Incorrect. The information in a system, and the complexity thereof, can increase by duplication, mutation, rearrangement or deletion. You have misapplied an aspect of information theory you ill-understand.
"Macroevolution requires the advancement in complexity and function in a system, which requires the acquisition of genetic traits that do not exist and the encoding of these genes into the reproductive system."
Incorrect, macroevolution requires that the parent species split into two or more mutually incompatible groups. There is no principle of increasing complexity or sophistication in the theory of evolution and it is equally possible for a new species to form as a simplified version of the parent species.
The apparent "march of progress" is a consequence of life having necessarily begun with simple organisms, hence only have stasis and increased complexity as "options". If complexity were a "diffusive" phenomena caused by a radiative "random walk" through the landscape of complexity and starting from a point of maximal simplicity, what we would expect to see is something resembling a Poisson distribution with the main body of life remaining simple while one tail-end stretches out to complexity, which is exactly what we do see. Even after 3.5 billion years, the overwhelming majority of life is single-celled.
"No such process has been found to exist, nor has any experiment showed that benevolent mutations can advance a species. Since subtraction does not equal addition, micro and macro are conflicting processes."
No such process is necessary and benevolent mutations are responsible for antibiotic resistance in bacteria, quinine resistance in malaria parasites, nylon digestion in Flavobacterium, cold/heat resistance in E.coli, etc. etc. etc.
Subtraction of a negative is precisely equivalent to addition, but bad analogy is not argument. Macroevolution is not a process of subtraction and life has no built in demand for positive progress. Microevolution is, on its own, sufficient to explain the origin of life's diversity and complexity, and common descent is a consistent and complete explanation for its pattern.
