Talk Origins is simply a good go-to source for information on regarding questions which get repeated ad nauseum and which I've been dealing with since Uni back in '99.
The fact that you haven't educated yourself before making the false statement that "speciation has not been observed" speaks volumes.
As such you're behind the curve even for the creationist, miost of which have shifted to "kinds" in a blatant dodge regarding the failure to hold the line at "species" as alluded to by another poster.
I'm not holding my breath, in the last 15 years creationists willingness to learn hasn't exactly been an outstanding characteristic of the group.

First of all, I didn't ask you to define "speciation" I said "species"..
Second, where have I made the statement that "speciation has not been observed"?
My actual statement was

Show me where a species evolving into a completely new species has ever been observed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species

In biology, a species (abbreviated sp., with the plural form species abbreviated spp.) is one of the basic units of biological classification and a taxonomic rank. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canidae

The biological family Canidae /ˈkænɨdiː/ [2] is a lineage of carnivorans that includes dogs, wolves, foxes, jackals, and many other extant and extinct dog-like mammals. A member of this family is called a canid (/ˈkænɨd/, /ˈkeɪnɨd/).[3] The Canidae family is divided into two tribes: the Canini (dogs, wolves and jackals) and the Vulpini (foxes)

Now show me where (for example) canines have been observed evolving into felines, or something similar.

"speciation" is a new term that has been created within the past century. By this definition, African-Americans would be considered a new species from the selective breeding practices that occurred during slavery.

Speciation may also be induced artificially, through animal husbandry, agriculture, or laboratory experiments.
