The fact one species can give rise to another similar species does not mean there are no limits to the process, that a bacterium can give rise to a human.

This is a big change in your position. A brief read of your post history sees you have often implied, or directly stated, that one species cannot turn into another.

Now you are saying a species can give rise to another similar species, and earlier in another post you defined macroevolution as species changing into another species. So you have implicitly said macroevolution is possible, you just disagree with the level of change that is possible.

No, no change in my position (which you understand), only in the definition of the words.

What we are discussing is showing the change of species to another species in a Macro way.

In the examples that you gave the birds were still considered birds and the reptiles considered reptiles.

When the bird becomes a reptile, then you have proof of Macro evolution.
