A new species develops (often initiated by temporary environmental factors such as a period of geographic isolation) when sub-population acquires characteristics, which promote or guarantee reproductive isolation from the alternative population, limiting the diffusion of variations thereafter.

This is an empirical fact., it has been observed both in nature, and in the lab.

And yet you give no examples.

Go ahead -- tell me about a species that has been observed to form in the lab. And if you tell me about fruit flies turning into fruit flies, I'll give up on you.

Agreed. You have no argument here. There are alot of different species of dogs. They are still dogs. Now show me the lizard that has changed into a dog.

Can you give us a single empirical example of one kind of an animal transforming into a completely different kind of animal through what you describe as “sub-populations acquiring characteristics which promote or guarantee reproductive isolation”? I'm not asking for you to connect the goo all the way to you. How about just providing the empirical data that connects two organisms that are separated at the family level, such as say a cat and a dog (which, btw, is roughly the classification that creationists think corresponds to the boundary of the biblical kinds).
