There are those who have split the theory in two: micro vs. macro evolution.

Some people who have normally shunned the entire concept of the evolution theory in the past have now integrated micro-evolution into their belief systems yet vehemently oppose macro-evolution.

No matter which path you take (creationism vs evolution), I guess it's just turtles all the way down. ;)

This is incorrect. With creationism/ID, it is expected that you do not question the nature of the creator/designer beyond what information is provided in texts or by religious/ideological leaders. With evolution, the principles are based on math and chemistry, which is in turn based on physics, which is currently being probed down to the smallest scales possible. (Contrary to what you might have been told, there is a lower limit to physics.)

I agree. But...

There is no limit to the determination of people defending their beliefs against any theory for which science provides evidence.

Yeehaa. And their beliefs reside in yesterday's rubbish - and always will until the new order comes.
It's quarks all the way down.
