Just the same macro-evolution has never been observed nor has the fossil record given us any transitional life forms.

The fossil record provides mostly transitional fossils. You just won’t recognize them as you refuse to comprehend deep time and the accumulation of “small” changes. Like your ICR buddies, you are still looking for the famous crocoduck. The history of earth is one of incrementalism punctuated with catastrophic instances and intervals.

BrandtMichaels: “Just the same macro-evolution has never been observed nor has the fossil record given us any transitional life forms.”

First of all, “macro - evolution”, by definition, is nothing more than the effects of “micro - evolution” extended over millions & tens of millions of years.
And those effects can be observed everywhere by anyone willing to see them.
The fact that you close your eyes and refuse to see doesn’t mean they’re not there.

Second, every individual, without exception is a “transition form” between it’s ancestors and descendants.
Fossils are also all “transition forms”, though there are often millions of generations which lived between one type of fossil and the next fossils found in sequence.
And as we can see with human selected dog breeds, under the right conditions huge changes in appearance can be made in just a few generations.
So where are the “transition forms” in, for example, dog breeds?
For most older breeds, we no longer know what were the “transition forms”, though we are absolutely certain they once existed.
The same is true of ancient fossils.
