So your contention is that (1) micro-evolution equals change within species, (2) macro-evolution equals speciation, and (3) speciation has never occurred, so there is no evidence of macro-evolution. Correct?

You are correct. I do have a problem with my definition of the word "speciation" and I apologize for all involved in this discussion for any confusion I caused. I'm very sorry.

I was using the term erroneously to refer to changes within species. That's not correct.

Having said that, yes, you are correct. Adaptation has occurred. Speciation has not. Speciation is not observable, reproducible, or predictive. Therefore, it is not good science.
