"Wow, have you ever missed the point. The reason successful cross breeding of geographically isolated species disproves ID has nothing to do with the viability of the offspring or whether or not a new species emerges. It is the respective genetic histories of the two species that is at issue. The ability to interbreed can only be the result of a shared ancestry between the two species."

Nonsense! That's the same as saying that the ability of two computer programs to interface with each other can only be the result of a shared ancestry between them. It's a nonsensical claim that is bogus even at its face value.

There are lots of related species that can't interbreed (housecats and tigers, for instance) just as there are lots of software programs with shared histories that can't interface with each other. Drawing your conclusion from either example is ludicrous and disproves nothing, much less Intelligent Design.

Can non-related species be cross-bred via Intelligent Intervention (e.g., gene-splicing, cloning, et al)?

That's the (marginally) better question.

You really don't know anything about biology, do you? This is a waste of time until you at least finish the fourth grade. Or maybe you could ask your Dad to explain the Birds and the Bees to you. Really, your inability or refusal to understand the simple stuff every single time it's explained to you is absolutely amazing.
