Observation is not a matter of faith.

Number 14 does address your point it states that direct observation of living forms and extinct forms indirectly observed from the fossil record support my assertion that there has been sufficient time to account for the diversity of life we see today.

What empirical evidence do you have to the contrary?

What do think the difference is between microevolution & macroevolution?

Which of the 14 points do you have a problem with?

“Observation is not a matter of faith.” [excerpt]
Do you believe that [colloquial] pond scum evolved into four legged land dwelling mammals?

Have you ever observed this happening?

Can you demonstrate it?

“Number 14 does address your point it states that direct observation of living forms and extinct forms indirectly observed from the fossil record support my assertion that there has been sufficient time to account for the diversity of life we see today.” [excerpt]
No. 14 is an explanation based on interpretation of historical evidence (not addressing the validity of said interpretation), and is not a demonstration.

In post 31 you made the forward looking assertion that micro+time=macro, and I asked you to provide a repeatable demonstration.

If you say that, ‘given enough time, micro evolution will lead to macro evolution’ and cannot and/or will not demonstrate it, your claim is only a statement of faith.

“What empirical evidence do you have to the contrary?” [excerpt]
I have not addressed any evidence that might contradict No. 14

“What do think the difference is between microevolution & macroevolution?” [excerpt]
Evolutionists define the words to have little to no difference in meaning.

They also assert that micro/macro is being observed.

However, what is being observed is constrained and does not fit their definition of micro. (contrary to what they say)

Like I said, it depends on who you allow to define the words and facts.

“Which of the 14 points do you have a problem with?” [excerpt]
We can deal with the 14 points once we deal with the lack of objectivity currently inherent to the poster of aforementioned points.
