If we all agree that in a short time small changes can occur, then we must agree that in a long time, big changes can occur unless something stops them.

No we don't.


Well small changes are observable. How could many small changes over a long time not add up to a large change?

One can change incrementally and greatly without changing fundamentally.

One could take the Creationist method and change the meaning of large. When speciation is demonstration, one could claim, "It's still the same genus."

Look at dog breeding, as an example.
