The moth that changed color was still a moth. The moths with darker coloration were better able to survive because they were more difficult for predators to see and therefore, there were more of them left to procreate. No new species was established by this selective breeding. Microevolution is not in question here and few doubt its validity. Macroevolution and abiogenesis are the crux of the debate and Darwinism cannot adequately explain either the origins of life or origins of species.

There is no proof or evidence of a new species emerging through natural selection. There are NO transitional species in the fossil record. Even the much celebrated Archaeopteryx is now considered to be a bird and not some transitional species between a reptile and a bird. The fossil record shows statis, the emergence of fully formed species followed by long periods (sometimes millions of years) of little or no change.

Macroevolution and abiogenesis are the crux of the debate and Darwinism cannot adequately explain either the origins of life or origins of species.

Macroevolution is simply microevolution over long periods of time.  There is no magic cut-off switch that stops a critter from changing over time into a related, but different critter.

There is no proof or evidence of a new species emerging through natural selection. There are NO transitional species in the fossil record. Even the much celebrated Archaeopteryx is now considered to be a bird and not some transitional species between a reptile and a bird. The fossil record shows statis, the emergence of fully formed species followed by long periods (sometimes millions of years) of little or no change.

Just about everything in the above statement is inaccurate to one degree or another.  Read the following threads and links. There has been a lot of work done in only the last few years of which many people remain blissfully unaware.  You'll be surprised at what scientists know and understand.
