Instead, he was implying that no matter the small "microevolution" (read: evolution) changes that occur, they would never be sufficient to evolve a reptile into a bird, which is what the current science indicates.
I'm more willing to be charitable with my interpretations when the underlying point is nothing more than an assertion which requires justification, but received none. The guy doesn't have a leg to stand on in the best of cases, I don't need to give him an out by potentially misinterpreting what he's saying so he can dodge by harping on that point instead of addressing the actual issue.
Logically, all that he has to argue, is that for all we know, it's impossible that small changes over time would ever be sufficient to make a large enough change to change a reptile to a bird.
Since the thread is that we have sufficient evidence to believe in evolution, it would be on you to prove it.
He doesn't have to argue or prove it, this time, it's on you, who is making the claim that the evidence is on your side.
