A horse sounds about right since macroevolution operates above the species level. The spawning of a new species of flies through the criteria of reproductive isolation, is not macroevolution, it's speciation at best.

Good god. What do you think evolution is?

These two dogs can successfully breed. This is happened in the last century directly through human selection.

You can use big words to disguise a steaming pile of horseshit but it won't make it smell any sweeter.

2. That they are not (or are rarely) testable.

For example, if Breezy had the first clue about what he was talking about he'd know that these two statements are mutually exclusive. It's basic scientific method that hypotheses must be testable. If they aren't they're just baseless opinion. So at least one of those misbegotten combinations of big words is just plain wrong.

Agreed; I don't mind calling phylogenies unscientific. But since they are testable in theory, not in practice, they remain technically falsifiable and scientific.
