No, there isn't.

You've been given, via link, examples of beneficial mutations. Now you're engaged in the virtual equivalent of holding your hands over your ears and intoning, "nah, nah, nah, nah; I can't hear you."

Furthermore, even ignoring directly or immediately beneficial mutations -- which nevertheless do occur, as has been proved to you -- the majority of mutations are neutral. Their accumulation within a specie's genome builds up a genetic diversity which is in itself beneficial, providing for future adaptive shifts, differential disease resistance, and the like.

examples of beneficial mutations.

I have been given examples of micro-"evolution" There is no disputing things such as building resistance to certain aspects of our environment (virus, etc.) You are saying that if I have an immunity to the flu, that my kids will too. Not the case. If it was the case, then our specias would have done away with the flu, malaria, and numerous other diseases that have been around for a long time. But I am sure you will shoot down what I just said, even though it directly addresses your beliefs.

I have never been given one link, ever, that proved macro-"evolution". Sure, I have been given plenty of circumstantial evidence, but that is it. You are attempting to jumble micro and macro...can't do that. Oh, you will, but you can't do that.
