"On the contrary, at best that demonstrates a rapid speciation event, precisely what Intelligent Design predicts." -- Southack

Your theory doesn't predict rapid, it predicts instantaneous. Cross breeding of geographically isolated species strikes to the heart of your theory and invalidates it instantly. For a theory to survive it must withstand all assaults. If it fails even once it must be abandoned or revised. ID is dead from a hundred fatal wounds. Abandonment is the only recourse you have.

Cross-breeding (which I've already explained is a bad example for this debate due to the 1st and 2nd species of Life) is an INSTANTANEOUS speciation event, which is precisely what Intelligent Design predicts. Cross-breed two species and the resultant mix is immediately a distinct new species.

What you've failed to understand is that cross-breeding is insufficient to explain the origin of species. By definition, the very first two species of Life on this planet could NOT have been produced via cross-breeding, rendering any theory dependent upon said cross-breeding moot.
