Oh Steve. In the first minute of my 55-minute class, I will demonstrate experimentally the validity of "gravity." Then you can have 54 minutes to demonstrate that macroevolution occurs.

What's he gonna demonstrate in 55 minutes which nobody was able to demonstrate in the decades of the fruit fly experiments? Fruit flies breed new generations every few days and they ran those experiments for decades, producing the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of years of human lifespans. They subjected the flies to everything known to cause mutations and then tried to recombine the mutations, and all they ever got was fruit flies, sterile individuals, and individuals which returned, boomarang-like, to the norm for a fruit fly. They never got anything but fruit flies.

Fruit Flies Give Chuck Darwin the Finger...

Much the same can be said about viruses. They have been doing experiments on them for decades also. The government funds research on viruses to cure diseases. Private companies do it to make new drugs. Universities fund it to learn new things. Billions are spent every year on just Aids research alone. They have thrown everything at viruses up to and including the kitchen sink: chemicals, radiotion, other viruses, anything they can think of. Yet no one has seen a virus change into a higher species such as a bacteria or into anything else.
