AFAICT from old records I have, bad evolution, which he labelled Evolution, used to be macro evolution while good Godly evolution used to be evolution. This was so because Evolution was not "metaphysically inert" (to use an old phrase of his), whereas evolution was. (It was always easy to show how silly such arguments were, simply by providing different metaphysical interpretations of the data. You know, the old creationist cry of "same data, different interpretation".)
If I am correct and Jorge has shifted focus, then I suspect the reason is that he knows he's lost the argument against macroevolution. All his "logic" against the theory has been shown by numerous posters to be flawed, silly, and self serving.
So the best he's got now is some mud to throw. Sure, that mud is there to be thrown, but it's notable that the moment one points out how (the Christian) God is used to justify all kinds of social ills, and has been used in this way centuries even millennia before Darwin came along, these folk simply don't want to know. Likewise with Newton's theories (and any theory in science), mud can be thrown, simply because people use the theories to do nasty things. But again, because Newton is viewed to be the preeminent creation scientist, then to point the finger is not allowed.
