OK, set out your evidence that macro evolution is a proven fact. No theories, just hard evidence. Show all links in the chain.

Nice try at changing the subject. Not only that, but I don't have the time to waste trying to teach the relevant science to people who have deliberately ignored the science and who have every intention of continuing to do so.

The issue here, the one I was addressing in my comments that you responded to, is that there are a lot of creationists who pretend that "Evolution is religion, not science." The fact of the matter is that evolution is science, period. Not a religious faith. Any creationist who pretends otherwise is either ignorant of the science, or is simply lying about it. These are not stated as insults, but are statements of the truth of the matter.

Here are some specific references to back up what I have just pointed out to you:

Evolutionary Biology, 3rd Ed. (1998)
by Douglas J. Futuyma
[Undergraduate textbook on biological evolution.]

Bringing Fossils To Life: An Introduction To Paleobiology, 2nd Ed. (2003)
by Donald R. Prothero
[Undergraduate textbook on paleontology.]

Yes, evolution really is part of science
[This is a list of about 30 professional science journals, in the U.S. and the U.K. only, that rountinely or exclusively publish professional scientific research on evolution.]
