Macro-evolution has never been observed, remember evolution is a "historical science"
An excellent example of evolution in action is a 14-year experiment done with Anolis lizards.(Losos et al, 1997) A single species of Anolis lizards was spread across 14 Caribbean islands none of which had any previous lizard populations. Over the time of the experiment, the lizards each adapted to their respective environments. Several new species of lizards evolved. The lizards each changed body shape in response to the flora in their environment. In fact, scientists were able to predict exactly how each lizard population would evolve before seeing the results.

When do the mods step in? This thread is clearly an attempt at proselytization rather than a science discussion.

Oh my Evolution! When will it end? Why the need to convert each other?
What's the psychological explanation of this?
Freud would say sex. Yes that's what this is about. This is pure masturbation of the ego.
The one trying to protect it's genitalia the other wanting to prove it's genitalia is bigger, and vice versa.
Well it made me laugh so thanks for that.
What do you base your ideals of right vs. wrong on if we were just animals and there is no God? Is rape ok? Should we stop someone from murdering people? Where do you get the right to tell another animal what is right or wrong in survival of the fittest, natural selection and evolution? I'd love to hear your answers on this.

You don't need theism to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong, you lack empathy. Nothing to do with theism or religion at all.

I think we intrinsically know right and wrong because of the thing called conscience put there by God, but our society has been told over and over that no one has a right to tell you what is right or wrong. So, I want to know just how you decide if lying, cheating, stealing, murder is right or wrong.
Where did you get that from?

I really do want to know how you know something is right or wrong.

I don't understand.. Why does every thing have to be so black and white? Is it possible that evolution is a part of Gods plan? Isn't creation still happening in the universe right this minute. Stars are being born as we speak and only God knows (pun intended) what else is being formed out there.....Maybe Just maybe there is a creator and evolution is God's product of creation......

if God exists as any religion describes Him, then this is exactly the case.
the discussion should end with posts like these.

You don't see the irony here? You accuse scientists of preaching ideologies when the fact of the matter is that you and your ilk preach dogma! Without so much as a spec of verifiable evidence to back up your incontrovertable truths. Yet you seem to be offended by anyone who would refute your claims, backed up by mounds of evidence all while you scream at the top of your lungs that God created everything (in 7 days no less)!! And we should just believe you... without one shred of verifiable, testable evidence. And you infere that your way of thinking is more advanced.... sorry... but that's moronic.
No one is demanding answers from you. Why would we? You don't havre any answers... it's painfully obvious.
People have asked how we think it all happened. They have asked other questions as well, so don't act like they have not.
Your side has never proved macro evolution and yet spends years indoctrinating it and denigrating religion openly in many schools especially colleges. They forbid teachers to teach ID and fire them for doing so. So, I would simply like the same rules applied to the vaunted system as you apply to others who cannot prove their belief system, and you know the evolutionist crowd is fighting it tooth and nail.

The Russian cytologist Karpchenko (1927, 1928) crossed the radish, Raphanus sativus, with the cabbage, Brassica oleracea. Despite the fact that the plants were in different genera, he got a sterile hybrid. Some unreduced gametes were formed in the hybrids. This allowed for the production of seed. Plants grown from the seeds were interfertile with each other. They were not interfertile with either parental species. Unfortunately the new plant (genus Raphanobrassica) had the foliage of a radish and the root of a cabbage.
