I hereby nominate creationists as the solution to the nation's energy crisis.

Not only do you have an execrable sense of humor, you can never speak to the point. Your breathtaking and wholly unjustifiable arrogance contributes to your inability to conduct a polite conversation.

Define "species" please.

Which is why they allegedly are capable of "easily interbreeding with one another and producing hybrids." LOL!

Various breeds of dogs mate with one another and create wide arrays of remarkably different hybridized phenotypes - yet they are all called dogs and they all interbreed - the same species according to macroevolutionists.

Yet the cabbages, occurring in almost as broad a variety are reducible to only three which can and are bred with one another to produce this variety - yet according to macroevolutionists they are all different species.

It's a bit of a contradiction.

The macroevolutionist postulate is that through naturally-occurring mutations radically different lifeforms can emerge from the same genotype.

Yet the same macroevolutionists like to argue that cauliflower and broccoli - two extremely similar plants - are an observable example of macroevolution.

Doesn't feed the bulldog.

I get very tired of being polite to people whose side of a 'conversation' is simply pull complete falsehoods out of their a$$. You claimed 'macroevolution' says species can't interbreed with each other and produce fertile offspring. Nonsense. We had species long before Darwin, or before creationists fastened on to this artificial distinction between 'macroevolution' and 'microevolution'. For a higher animal, a species is a population of organisms that do not naturally interbreed. That's a very fuzzy definition; we find all sorts of groups that interbreed sometimes but not often; groups that look very different and are geographically isolated but do interbreed when brought into contact; etc.. Unlike creationists, biologists know 'species' is a human categorization, and therefore nature doesn't always or necessarily fit neatly into that construct.

For a longer and more careful discussion, see this And all of this in irrelevant to evolution, since whether species are interfertile is a matter of how you've drawn the categories. TOE says nothing about interfertility.
