You do know that the only difference Macro evolution has to Micro evolution is time.
And evolution is fascinating and very complex.
But you'd know hat with your lofty level of education right/
I recently came across this.

which implies that gut microbes can play a role.
As I said fascinating.
But more importantly if you somehow manage to prove evolution wrong how does this help your cause? you seem to have given up trying to prove god. If Evolution was disproved it would not be evidence for god.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

But they now have properties that bacteria didn't have before. This is just an example of evolution seen in our lifetime.

First, explain exactly what a "kind" is. A strain of bacteria that never existed prior to the invention of nylon is certainly a new kind of bacteria. I could point out where scientists discovered a new species of shark that evolved from another species, but you'd just blow that off with "It's still just a shark." Oh, did I mention that this new species can't reproduce with the other species?
Evolution doesn't say that a dog will turn into a cat, dumbass.

To be fair, we do have an example of upward evolution:
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Just like yesterday, at the point at which the arguments put up against him completly debunk everything he posted, he disapears.
And just like today, he will return tomorrow and behave as if the examples given that debunk him never were posted and will open new threads.
Anyone want to bet?
