I have know about the Macro and Micro evolution differences for sometime and agree. However, there is a third type of evolution. Hasn't man evolved over the many thousands of years in knowledge, skills and abilities? We ride in cars and airplanes now days, we've gone to the moon. I don't think they did those things 500 years ago.

No, our skills might have changed, but we haven't "evolved".

The average American (I choose American since it's the only nation I know that well) doesn't know much of anything about purifying water, growing food, tending animals, maintaining health -- very fundamental and basic knowledge you can't just "exempt yourself from" since it hits very close to home. And it's knowledge a 12-year-old would have had, only a couple hundred years ago. Likewise, our minds have atrophied such that the average sentence has far fewer words, etc.

I don't believe man has evolved at all. Technology is a double edged sword at best. For every advance (air conditioning) you give up something (engineering techniques to block out the summer sun, mortification, ability to endure temperatures of less than 65 degrees and more than 73 degrees, etc.)

Well, there is James Carville that makes even me wonder. Just kidding.
