WW,

Random mutation, or micro-evolution, has been shown in the lab, but as far as I know, no lab experiment has shown macro-evolution. Also, the existence of micro-evolution does not prove macro-evolution. What laboratory experiment has proven macro-evolution? Can you cite one?

Thanks,
K51

Fruit flies. Two genetic lines were interbred until they can no longer cross-breed, which is, by definition, "macro-evolution". But the mere fact that you make that argument shows your prejudices, because science makes no distinction between "micro" and "macro" evolution. That meme was sheer invention by the literal creationists.
