Species is a man made construct. It does not have either the meaning or importance that you attribute to it.

Hybrids are speciation in progress. Two separate “species” that are close enough to their common ancestor to reproduce; not close enough to be fertile.

And often, fertile hybrids. Micro- evolution caught in the act of becoming macro-evolution.

These hybrids “just happen” to fit predictions based on the fact of evolution. They prove false the idea of immutable species.

If you are not able to answer my questions, please admit it.

I may have overlooked something, but I haven’t seen anything that even remotely resembles proof against evolution. I have seen speculation, nit-picking, “I just know”, distortion of what evolution and species are, sidestepping the questions. I have seen nothing that is not clearly contradicted by Nature.

Also, there has been nothing substantial proposed that Change (evolution) is not the Law of Nature, The Law of God.

The score now stands:  
Things that Change = Infinity.  
Things that don’t change = Zero.

There is an extraordinary amount of evidence for evolution, against Creation, against ID. It will take an extraordinary amount of proof to contradict our current knowledge.  
Before you respond again, please answer my questions.
