"Microevolution" vs "Macroevolution".

I find it amusing that even creationists have moved from saying that evolution doesn't happen at all, to saying that it does, just that it's limited. I think that says a lot.
I've had Creationists trot that one out at me, when I pointed out that head lice were a very good example of natural selection driving evolution. They seem incapable of understanding that macro-evolution is just cumulative micro-evolution.

They also (as is witnessed by that bullshit poster) fail to understand that evolution DOESN'T have an end 'goal' in mind, making the 'irreducible complexity' argument completely meaningless.
