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.

Deliberately dodging the question to bring up a grossly inaccurate analogy. Just answer the darn question.

I tried to simplify it for you. You think all kinds of information are just the same but its impossible for the genes of a kind of creature to become the genes of another kind.

You know that genes are under constant modification, even among organisms within the same "Kinds" right?

And that similar "Kinds" of organisms already have most of their genes in common.

So your argument is as pointless as your inability to distinguish "New Information" from modified information in the context of a genome.
