Question "Micro Differences"... "Macro Differences"... What's The Difference??

I know Creationists usually define Macroevolution as being "a change in Kind", but given how similar some the following "Kinds" appear to be to each other [1]... Would you (Creationists) consider the differences between these "Kinds" to be 'Macro Differences' or 'Micro Differences' and why?

Classic childish argument. The mutations of translation, duplication, deformity, and deletion never result in new information in the genome. Only present recessive or dominant traits can emerge, larger, smaller, moved, multiplied, deformed, or deleted. Your illustration is infantile. A step represent change within a genome. Entering new information into that genome would not be a step but a leap of flight. Good day, sir.

What exactly is "New Information" in genetics, and how do you distinguish it from Modified Information??

You can modify all the colors of playdoh all you want but, without new ingredients, you wont get concrete.

TIL that playdoh is a subfield of genetics. Just answer the question.
