Micro evolution vs macro evolution needs to be pointed out.
Micro evolution are small changes in a species to adapt to different conditions. Those have been observed, and nearly all intelligent design proponents would not argue against micro evolution. But macro evolution is positing something we haven't observed and that seems extreme... certain species developing totally new organs as a kind of mutation (mutations are typically a bad thing). The problem is waved off by giving enough time, but our fossil records don't show evidence for those kinds of mutations. Doesn't mean they are definitely wrong, but the concrete evidence is not there.

Sigh

"Observing" macro evolution as described would require the observer to live an awfully fricking long time. [quote]

There is only evolution.

No it doesn't. It's like saying we need to point out the difference between walking down the street and walking from New York to LA. The only major difference is the amount of time it takes to get there. Your idiot of a Southern Baptist preacher is wrong.

The fossil record contains overwhelming evidence of those kinds of mutations.
