I'm serious. I want to see that. It's one of my biggest problems with this theory.
Actually, your biggest problem with the theory seems to be that you don't understand it.
Speciation is not when one species suddenly pops out another in a single generation. Speciation occurs over a series of generations. When it happens, it's something of a fuzzy distinction because while you have two decidedly different species, they can be traced back to a single common species.

Can they or can they not interbreed? Not do they or do they not, CAN they or CAN they not?
Probably the biggest turnoff people have with your theory is the ideas that humans (really the only species people care about), came from apes. Humans and apes cannot interbreed and prior to Darwin, no one had any reason to believe they ever had. The idea that humans came from any kind of ape seems absurd, unless you seriously undervalue humanity.
And every time a new discovery is made, a new "ancestor" of man, it is really either a man or an ape. It is man or not man. There is no in-between man who could reproduce with apes and humans.
