While such evolutionary biologists Theodosius Dobzhansky, Bernhard Rensch and Ernst Mayruse the term, many neo-Darwinian do not, preferring instead to talk of evolution as changes in allele frequencies without mention of the level of the changes (above species level or below). Use of the term is most common in the continental European traditions (as Dobzhansky, Mayr, Rensch, Goldschmidt and Schindewolf were) and less common in the Anglo-American tradition (such as John Maynard Smith and Richard Dawkins). Hence, use of the term "macroevolution" is sometimes wrongly used as a litmus test of whether the writer is "properly" neo-Darwinian or not.[6]

A Sincere Question Regarding Macroevolution
by jacobm ini have a sincere question related to macroevolution:.
microevolution happens on a small scale (within a single population), while macroevolution happens on a scale that transcends the boundaries of a single species.
despite their differences, evolution at both of these levels relies on the same, established mechanisms of evolutionary change:.

I am not almost 100% convinced that the story is fake.
Checking the original source of the story, it seems to be a fake news site with the quality of National Enquirer.
Then many other low-quality sources started copying it.
Today was different, a "decent" quality source had it and so I thought it was true. But I called that newspaper, and the newspaper from which that newspaper got its story, and here's the thing:
Zocalo newspaper - the lady that wrote the article refused to give me her source.
El Debate newspaper - the editor said that she agreed with me that there was a problem with the story because Zocalo did not list its sources and there has been no official word on the news story on the Senate. -

I called both newspapers that had the note, and, in an appalling display of lack of fact-checking (welcome to Mexico), there is no actual source for the news.
I called the Mexican senate and apparently it is not possible to know what will be discussed in the future unless the senator who plans to introduce the bill tells you.
I don't know how to confirm, but I would really love to confirm if this is real or not.

These days, though, they'd be way too chicken.
Not the Mexican JW's!! I think they will fight this tooth and nail!

There have been many documented, visible cases of speciation. These usually occur in small living things, like mosquitoes, bacteria, etc because of the short time it takes for them to have a new generation (some bacteria can duplicate as fast as every 20 minutes). Because changes big enough for it to be considered a speciation event take possibly thousands of generations, it is very difficult to observe speciation in a human lifetime.
Even at 20 minutes and 1000 generations, it would take almost two weeks for an appreciable change to occur. If the change happens within 10,000 generations and the time between generations is an hour, it would take 1 year and 52 days...
This experiment with E. Coli takes about 4 years for every 10,000 generations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_experimentThe E.Coli bacteria evolved new features!
This is another experiment that shows that unicellular life can evolve into multicellular:http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v517/n7536/full/517531d.html

But it appeared in a news outlet I sort of respect, and as I write this it seems to be appearing in dozens of other news outlets in Mexico (it seems like the story was confirmed and is breaking today).
Below is the translation of the article:"Jailtime for those who preach at inappropriate hours"
"Law will be discussed that will impose a fine upon those that have a high volume during worship."
"Next 25th of may in the Senate of the Republic a law will be debated to protect the home that will impose fines or charges of up to 6 weeks in jail to those that preach the word of God at inappropriate hours.
"This initiative constitutes a violation of freedom of religion", indicated Samuel Carrillo Gonzalez, director of Religious Affairs. He added that they have solicited Daniel Rivera, subdirector of Religious Affaris of the Government Secretary, information about the position he will take regarding this.
The law also will impose fines upon the congregations that have high volume at the time they're having their services, or if they are on the streets visiting homes to look for recruits to certain religions or in any way bothering people walking, stopping in the same manner the actions of bill collectors or even the police itself and everyone that dares to violate the integrity of the family.

Jehovah’s Witnesses News Service
Jehovah’s Organization has had a high regard for keeping itself clean from sexual sins. This is why we have gone to great lengths to police aspects of the sexuality of all Jehovah’s Witnesses, including the married ones.
Ever since its inception, the Society has been against being gay. For example, basing ourselves on 1 Corinthians 6:9, we said that being gay was condemned in the Bible.
But Jehovah leads us in interesting ways, and He promised that there would be “New Light”.
We didn’t know it back then, but Anthony Morris’s preoccupation with tight pants was actually a revelation from Jehovah.
We fervently have read the Bible, and now we believe, based on the obviously gay story of David and Jonathan, that being gay is ok. Please take the time to read the following Scriptures:
(1 Samuel 20:17) 17 So Jon′a·than swore again to David because of his love for him; for as he loved his own soul he loved him.(1 Samuel 18:1-4) 18 And it came about that, as soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, Jon′a·than’s very soul became bound up with the soul of David, and Jon′a·than began to love him as his own soul. 2 Then Saul took him on that day, and he did not allow him to return to his father’s house. 3 And Jon′a·than and David proceeded to conclude a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul. 4 Further, Jon′a·than stripped himself of the sleeveless coat that was on him and gave it to David, and also his garments, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
(1 Samuel 19:2) 2 As for Jon′a·than, Saul’s son, he took great delight in David.
(1 Samuel 20:30) 30 Then Saul’s anger grew hot against Jon′a·than and he said to him: “You son of a rebellious maid, do I not well know that you are choosing the son of Jes′se to your own shame and to the shame of the secret parts of your mother?
In this Scripture, the footnote (after the word “choosing”) reads: “You are a partner of,” LXX.
Lastly, this Scripture:
(2 Samuel 1:26) 26 I am distressed over you, my brother Jon′a·than, Very pleasant you were to me. More wonderful was your love to me than the love from women.So we can see that Jonathan and David were lovers, even partners!
Did Jehovah disapprove? No! In fact, he took away the kingdom from Saul and he gave it to David, and even the Messiah came from his lineage!
Therefore, the Governing Body has decided that gay marriage is approved by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Also, tight pants are allowed, if you are gay.In fact, Anthony Morris III will marry Stephen Lett, and the ceremony will be broadcasted live at the next AGM.
Masturbation is still wrong, though.More info can be found in the following link:
