VV: What facts are we missing?

Rippin: Evolutionists have never observed their mechanism actually do very much.

VV: Begs the question, refuses to admit that failure to observe the mechanism in action at a macro-level is a weakness in the theory.

Rippin: Points out the failure to follow the logic trail.

Patrick Henry: Links that fail to address the point under consideration.

Rippin: For PH, do you admit that the fact that we have not observed the assumed mechanisms for evolution produce macro level changes is a weakness in the the theory of orthodox neo-Darwinism?

If, by the term "macro level changes," you are asking about a leap from one species to another in a single generation, you're not talking about evolution. Rather, that's a creationist fantasy, promoted at creationist websites, to be hauled out and ridiculed whenever they want to convince themselves they're bashing evolution. If you imagine that evolution is like that, you've got some catching up to do. Seriously. Why not give it a try?
The Theory of Evolution. Excellent introductory encyclopedia article.
Introduction to Evolutionary Biology. Another good introduction.
The Pocket Darwin. Very good, easily readable summary.
