>> Yes. Micro evolution is observable everywhere. 

Since micro evolution is fact, macro evolution is also fact.

< But micro evolution is very different from macro evolution

[need details]


 

>> Yes. 

"This rests on the opinion that something is only science if it can be falsified, i.e., proven wrong, at least in principle. This view, which is due to Popper, is not at all universally accepted, and some history of philosophy is in order to make sense of it and the criticisms made of it.[note 1]

< STRONG It isn't a real hard science.  A hard science such as physics, chemistry, and astronomy provides mathematics, testability, and precise predictability. Macro evolution has none.

Again, the reason why physics, chemistry, and astronomy are good sciences is that they can test and predict whether a precisely described outcome would happen given the precise numerical conditions.

There are no numbers or math to invoke in macro evolution to tell whether an outcome would happen under certain conditions.
