When presented with the evidence, creationists will admit to believing in so-called 'microevolution' but will deny 'macroevolution'. They then refuse to acknowledge that by doing so they actually believe in evolution.
You can then ask them repeatedly what mechanism is in place to stop a series of small changes from accumulating and they will be unable to answer it.
But they get away with it in their minds (no one else's) because they basically are asking for something impossible. Anything that can be observed evolving is micro-evolution according to them. So they basically demand us to present them with observations (not evidence) of 'macro-evolution'. In other words they demand that we present them with something that they can observe changing themselves which takes longer than a human life.
(They ignore observable evidence such as fossil records etc). But there are examples all around us that they cannot deny. Languages evolve all the time using very small steps. Accents become dialects which become different languages. If you learn German, French, Spanish, Italian for example, you'll see many different similarities between the languages. If you learn an oriental language you will see that it is completely different.
e.g.
the elephant sits in the house
der Elefant sitzt im Haus
象は家に座っています (I'm trusting google translate on this one)
Or you can look at how one language changes over time.

Is that your best shot at macro-evolution?
A rock does not show specified complexity so it is not designed. My point earlier, which was spun out of control with the debating tricksters in here, is that the entire universe is designed so all is designed. DNA is what proves design though with its highly complex and specific information it contains and the information processing in which it functions.
