Like I said: research. There has been observed speciation.

I don't know about that. Would you say that crystallography and chemistry are one and the same thing? Perhaps from a certain perspective they are, and from a certain perspective that are quite different... who's to say?

That's a good point, but in reality I don't differentiate between macro and microevolution. Macroevolution is really just fictitious nonsense made up by people that want to seem like they've accepted evolution.

I don't differentiate either FYI - but that isn't to say that there mightn't be legitimate differences to be made.

Sounds more like a dilute Thelema, or LaVeyan Satanism.

Rats with wings? Well that's a new one on me. The bones in a bat's wing are essentially the same bones as are found in the forelimbs of any mammal including rats, humans and even whales. For that matter the same basic bones can be found in fish.



I’m afraid the differences between rats and bats aren’t nearly as vast as some might like you to believe. As others have said educate yourself on evolution. A good starting might be Jerry Coyne’s Your Inner Fish.
