Somebody, I think on this list, once remarked that "microevolution" is
usually effectively defined as "evolution I believe in" while
"macroevolution" means "evolution I don't believe in." I too would like to
see anti-evolutionists give the terms scientific definitions and use them
consistently. I'm not holding my breath.
