They're all just a bunch of crazy Bible thumping fundamentalists who want to take us back to the 1700's, right?

Pretty much. You seem to be on the road yourself.

It's not like his finches have hybridized from 14 to 6, right?

Huh? 14 what to 6 what?

Well, at least we have fosil evidence that traces man back to apes. We don't?

We do.

Well, at least there's evidence of one species evolving from another and that by logical extention- oh, we don't have that either?

We do.

This is why crevo threads go bad.

It's not evidence that would hold up in a murder trial.

Which illustrates a semantic dispute over the meaining of "species." Anyway, TalkOrigins is not a scientific site It's a propaganda site. It's purpose is not to further knowledge to debate but to advocate a viewpoint.

Kinda Biology 101, but Darwin observed 14 different "species" of finches which he believed came from one common ancestor.  Today, we've observed 8 of those "species" mate with others and produce sterile offspring.

Well, at least we have fosil evidence that traces man back to apes. We don't?

We do.

Not exactly.  You have fosils, but you don't have anything that ties them to the apes.

Well, at least there's evidence of one species evolving from another and that by logical extention- oh, we don't have that either?

We do.

Are you serious?  You give me a source that sites evening primrose as an example of a new species?  That's the text book example of a  mutation which is what de Vries is famous for!  In fact, all of his "Observed Instances of Speciation " are either cases of polyploidy, non examples of speciation (suddenly morphological differences are speciation as in Stephanomeira or Mimulus) or behavioral isolation (Drosophila). 

The horrific quality of the "evidence" you site doesn't speak well to the supportability of your theory.
