I'll ignore all the mindless repitition fingers-in-the-ears-going-"La-la-la!" stuff and skip to where you at least did something different, the fallacy of bad analogy. However, this line of argument is not logically correct. Just because I can jump an inch does not mean I can jump to the moon. Just because I can walk an inch does not mean I can walk around the world. When you jump, you are using muscle energy to raise your body against gravity. Furthermore, the energy is stored as increased gravitational potential, which is why you come down when you jump. When you walk, you use muscle energy which is thereby depleted. Evolution isn't much like either thing, unless the walker is 1) allowed to rest and feed, and 2) not limited by oceans. Then walking can be like evolution.

So it means you can jump as high as you want?

Clearly there are limits to high one can jump based on the physical anatomy, not just gravity.

Evolutionary drift has no energy cost and no stored return force. Once two populations drift a little bit apart, they can just as easily drift a little bit more apart as go back the other way. At any given point, they can do anything in response to the pressures they're under.

They cannot 'jump' genetically to another species.

Your fantasy thinking is showing.

Here's an honest analogy. Your position is like claiming a hydrogen balloon released at spot A must forever bob and float about spot A, never getting far away. That's one behavior it almost certainly won't do.

The reality is that there are limits on everything, including hydrogen balloons.

Stop trying to talk away the facts, they are what they are.

The dishonesty of your analogy is instantly obvious and pathetic. That's your science and it's pitiful.

Actually, the only thing that is pitiful is your lack of science, which cannot come up with an answer to the facts that Macro evolution is impossible.

Every example you gave was that of Micro not Macro evolution.

Alchemy is more likely then Macro evolution.

But when the 2nd Law of Thermodynmics kicks in on your body and you find yourself looking into the face of your Creator, you can give your analogies to Him.

I am sure He is going to find them very amusing.

So the real science is being dumb as dirt? Anyone reading the paragraph you quote and the question to phrase in "response" can see you've sunk to complete brazen dishonesty.

No creationist has ever identified a plausible mechanism why not. It has nothing to do with how high white men can jump.

The reality is that there are limits on everything, including hydrogen balloons.

You have not identified a limiting factor on "microevolution." We have the evidence for common descent. The mechanism is understandable. We see it happening. There are no more limits to evolution than there are to continental drift.

Actually, the only thing that is pitiful is your lack of science, which cannot come up with an answer to the facts that Macro evolution is impossible.

More unsupported shouting. This is your science? Lying about what you just pasted, sticking your fingers in your ears, and screaming your mantra over and over?

You're not exactly the best advertisement faith in things unseen has ever had.
