Mainstream science is defined by an acceptance of macroevolution, the Big Bang, etc.

- Evolution on a large scale extending over geologic era and resulting in the formation of new taxonomic groups
- Macroevolution is a scale of analysis of evolution in separated gene pools.Matzke, Nicholas J. and Paul R. Gross. 2006. Analyzing Critical Analysis: The Fallback Antievolutionist Strategy. ...
- The combination of events associated with the origin, diversification, extinction, and interactions of organisms which produced the species that currently inhabit the Earth. Large scale evolutionary change such as the evolution of new species (or even higher taxa) and extinction of species.
- The origin of new large-scale features such as organs or body plans.
- Evolution on the grand scale resulting in the origin of higher taxa. In evolutionary theory it thus entails common ancestry, descent with modification, the genealogical relatedness of all life, transformation of species, large scale functional and structural changes, etc.
- Changes produced over many generations, including the appearance of new species.
- Evolutionary change at or above the species level.
- A vague term generally used to refer to evolution on a grand scale, or over long periods of time. There is no precise scientific definition for this term, but it is often used to refer to the emergence or modification of taxa at or above the genus level. ...
- Larger changes in evolution, such as when a new species is formed or a mass extinction.
