I recently came across Micro and Macro Evolution. Honestly speaking, it makes sense to me but at the same time, it does not disprove the existence of God (in my opinion).
Micro: two organisms mate and offspring have a variance
Macro: multiple organisms have a common ancestor

I used to be against it, but I am for it because that is how people reproduce; the more they reproduce, mutation continues. What are your thoughts I want an answer to go back to my friends who are skeptical of Christianity?

The theory behind microevolution is that the genetics of a species makes minor changes over time without transforming into a new organism. This theory is acceptable because it is biblically and historically evident. God spoke of the beauty of humanity created in His own image and by His own breath (Genesis 1:27; 2:7). Not only man, but all creatures, vegetation, the solar system, and everything in the universe has always maintained its own property and identity. Though size, color, texture, strength, etc., may change within an organism, never can it become something else. Holy Book of Genesis 1 reveals that God created different plants and creatures "according to their kind" (Genesis 1:11-12,21,24-25). Macroevolution is defined by an organism transforming into a different species. Throughout the millenniums recorded in the Holy Scripture as well as in science and history books never has there been any evidence of one species morphing or transforming into another. Humans remain highly differentiated than any other creature and the animals referenced in the Holy Bible are as they are today: lions, bears, camels, horses, dogs, eagles, hens, sparrows, pigeons, doves, etc., everything "according to its kind" (Genesis 1:21,24-25)
