Chas, your post above makes me recall the phrase:
"Science falsely so called".
The shoe fits.

Esq, I think I have seen KUSA's dog pic before, and it's great.
Sure, we could still have wolves and dogs together- that would fit in both Evolution and Creation sequences.

It is super great, yeah. Big Grin

Wait, what? Dogs are the product of wolves that had been domesticated and selectively bred over centuries; that's one kind breeding into another kind, by any measure. Kinds are still irrelevant to the process of course, but if you're looking for an example that's as good a one as any.

Good one Esq. You got me.
I could say dogs and wolves can breed, but we do call them by different names.

I would like to hear how a creationist would explain a horse and a donkey breeding infertile offspring, within their concept of kind?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Well, that's why the first thing I did was ask what goes into deciding what animal goes in what kind, so I could know where the lines are. Nobody who actually uses the word seriously seems to want to give me a straight answer, however. It's weird.

Think of it like the gray scale on your TV. Can you point to one block and say this is where black became white? Of course not
Not that I have clear that up on to the question at hand. If micro evolution is true and the changes occur, then what is the mechanism that stops resets the changes so as too stop a change of kinds?

Thinking if they believe in micro evolution they almost must agree over millions of years of micro evolution the species would be radically different. so there is no point of saying i believe in micro evolution just say you believe in evolution.

You didn't get the invite? I satan made them all for bbq last week. damn good eating.

Now back on track
What is the mechanism that stop micro evolution from becoming macro evolution?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Cheech, the mechanism limiting micro from becoming macro is the genetic code.
Just like your computer.
The pre-existing code allows different programs (genetic variations) to run.
It doesn't allow Mac programs to run on Bill Gates' stuff, which is why the only crockaduck you will find
is an illustration in logic.

You don't even know your computer well enough to construct a valid analogy. Just saying.
