Thank you for your list of micro-evolution events. Now could you please provide us with a list of macro-evolution events. Even Stephen J. Gould (until his revent death, America's foremost spokesman for evolution) came to the conclusion that there wasn't any proven macro-evolution evidence. That is why he then proposed his theory of "punctuated evolution."

If what you term "macroevolution" was observed in a lab, it would blatantly disprove the theory of evolution.

Wrong.
Gould formulated the theory of punctuated equilibrium NOT to explain "macro-evolution" (which is Creationist terminology) or speciation (the scientific term); but to better explain the observed fossil record where creatures can exist without substantial change for a long period of time (equilibrium) and then suddenly there is a big change in lots of different species apparently all at the same time (punctuated).
I'd accept Creationist/ID'ers arguments as being intellectually honest and derived at from a basis of knowledge if they could at least get ONE SINGLE THING RIGHT. So far they are batting 0, and showing that they clearly don't understand what they purport to not believe.

The creation of new species is "micro-evolution"? Wow...
