Doesn't matter what you agree. Only what you can demonstrate.

If you can't show it... you don't know it.

Fair enough. You can't demonstrate the type of evolution that I disagree with. You guys may be having trouble seeing that natural selection and mutation are not what I am arguing against. I am arguing against their ability to lead to the life we see (from some ancient ancestor). If you can't show it you don't know it may be true, but you can decide the most likely alternative based on the evidence. We will never be able to show the way that life was formed, therefore we will never know.

What's the next number in the following sequence?

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ?

12, right? How did you know? Because you saw a pattern there and kept going with it. There was no reason for you to think "no, the pattern needs to change now, so the answer is 13 (for example)"

Now think about this regarding evolution on the macro scale. You didn't see ancestral apes evolving into homo sapiens or some other "macro" species evolving into another species, but we do see clear patterns in this world shown that clearly suggest that macro species do over time evolve into new species through various generations.

Whatever pattern you see in "micro evolution" shouldn't all of a sudden without reason be stopped so that macro evolution never happens. That's just forcing an obstacle here it has not been shown to the case that there is one.
