Sorry for the quick response... I will put more time into this as I can... for now, consider an alternate interpretation of the same facts in the "ring species" cases....
Sorry for the undefined terms... I was kind of fishing to see if anyone really cared;) I apologise also for the links in the response; however, the linked pages have multiple definitions describing the same meaning with different wording which might help more readers understand the meaning:
Macroevolution:
http://www.answers.com/topic/macroevolution
Microevolution:
http://www.answers.com/topic/microevolution
In short, microevolution covers things like natural selection, genetic drift, and other small progressive changes while macroevolution involves large scale genetic changes. This is a pretty lame summary... I'd encourage you to check out the links!
Not enough time or room here to post the every day events that contradict macroevolution. (You won't find those for microevolution... because microevolution is quite true.) Fortunate for anyone seriously seeking these answers, there is an extensive, well written, scientific website with great content for the casual observer... and detailed content for the most scientifically technical person.
If the site name alone keeps you from checking it out... then one might want to ask themself... "Am I afraid that I might find the truth to be quite different from what I currently believe?" While I'm at it... an aside on belief/science... anyone asserting the truth about the origin of the universe is exercising a belief. We weren't there. Hypothesis can only be tested in our current environment. Theories without confirmed, recreatable processes to support it... by our own definitions of science... are still theories.
