So the usual strawman argument from a theist who does not understand what the theory of evolution actually is but dismisses it anyway.
I am glad that you agreed that there is no mechanism is in place to stop small changes from accumulating over many generations because that means that what you creationists call micro-evolution accumulate given enough time to become major changes. That is what the theory of evolution is, small changes accumulating over time. Genetic algorithms for example won't work if it requires large steps to be made.

The 'algorithm' simply has not yielded one example of a major change. the 24 hour fruit fly is proof of that. 50,000 Generations of 24 hour fruit flies since they were first studied, and what did evolution do? it made one group blind and another tranlucent. that said they were all still 24 hour fruit flies after 50K generations. nothing morphed into anything else!
Your ancestors were once single celled amoeba and now you are able to use a computer keyboard with your multiple digits, I would call that quite a major change.
So you are an example of the major change you seek. You're welcome.
One interesting fact, the average human contains 60 mutations.
there are 7,000,000,000 humans on the planet times that by 60 and you get the amount on potential in humans NOW not even considering all the past animals and combinations.
