Off the top of my head it substantiates that if you have 5 transitional fossils showing the slow change of an organism over a few million years that they did come in the order that they appear to, that one did spawn the other.
I think the best evidence of macroevolution is in genetic similarities between all life on earth, common descent.
That you and a chimp are 99% genetically identical, you and a mammal about 90%, and less and less until you get to something like a banana that is about 40-50% genetically identical, because the first cell is over 4/5 of both of our evolution, so we share a few billion years of common ancestry with every other organism on earth. Radiometric dating proves nothing about any form of evolution since it is itself unreliable in the sense that it is based on three unprovable assumptions, and has also been found to be unreliable in the field in various circumstances.
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
Yes, speciation is an example of micro-evolution in organisms. It refers to the process by which distinct species evolve from a common ancestor through the accumulation of genetic differences over time. This gradual divergence can lead to the formation of new species that are reproductively isolated from one another.
'Macro-evolution' is not a process in itself. Rather, it is a perspective on the effects of evolution. 'Micro-evolution' is those effects seen from close-up; by 'zooming out' one sees those same results in a wider scope called 'macro-evolution'. All evolution is driven by genetic variation and natural selection.
Evolution produces new species. Macro-evolution is the term used to indicate such divergence at a scope beyond that of the single species. It's not referring to a different process, but to a different perspective on the same process.
There are approximately 15 macro drops in 1 ml.
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.

Macro evolution is just speciation, so you are a form of macro evolution. We and the chimpanzees have a common ancestor that we split from about 6 million years ago. We became Homo sapiensand they became Pan troglodytes.
Evolution is sometimes described as macro-evolution, which is the long-term evolution of an entire new species, and micro-evolution, which is largely to do with less significant evolutionary changes within a species. Many creationists accept the existence of micro-evolution, but say that macro-evolution does not occur.
The fossil record
An example of macro-evolution is the appearance of feathers during the evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs.

i dunno which is which but they evolve with the kind that is just due to a degrading birth defect or mutation for the worse cuz "evolution" is false!

Some would call that microevolution. I would not. Some divide evolution into micro and macro. Evolutionary biologists prefer to use the terms evolution and speciation.
Micro evolution refers to small-scale changes in gene frequencies within a population over a short period of time, while macro evolution involves large-scale changes that result in the formation of new species over long periods of time. Both processes involve genetic variation and natural selection, but the difference lies in the scale and time frame of the changes observed.
