Hundreds of small changes in a bridge can result in it collapsing,
simply seeing hundreds of changes does not mean they are adding
up to something positive, let alone something more functionally
complex as say a liver, or a circuitry system. Now, it has never been
seen where the small mutations have done what people here have
claimed, which is put together sometime as dynamic as a brain, but
the myth of evolution’s macro changes is so powerful it is called a
fact by some. Small changes we do see result in things breaking
down more often than not, but in face of all this, theories get called
facts even though they can never be witnessed, it is just speculation
and assumptions that rule the day in the human psyche, such is the
faith of the true believers.

My suggestion to you, is don't bother debating with me.

Now that's the second person you've told to stop talking to you. As far as I am concerned, it may not be possible as you're part of that political bloc of religious zealots that has managed to grab too much political power for me to accept quietly. As you continue to tell more and more people not to talk to you, at some point I hope you come to realize that it's your ability to communicate that's the problem and not those of us who don't understand you and who you don't understand.

Your absolutely right. Many mutations are deleterious. Some lead to extinction. some lead to no efective change and some lead to novel forms. Allow the process to run for millions of years and sufficient changes occur to allow speciation and 'complexity' (whatever that might be)

Oh, sorry, I forgot, you're not talking to me any more (Dere 'mlaen cariad)

I think most of us understand KellyJay. Just imagine the terms zealot and bigot.

I'm not attempting to insult you, if you cannot grasp my meaning
it would be better for you to talk to someone else. You it seems
are bound to insult me, and I don't see the need to attempt any
effort to carry on a conversation with you, since you do not attempt
to act like an adult while expressing how educated you are.

3 people in the 2 years since I've been here, since you are keeping
track. I normally try to over look bad manners, but after awhile it
seems to be pointless.

There is no insult in my post and there has been none in any of the other posts. If you are unable to read the previous posts without misconstruing them then I'd guess you have a problem.

If you want to know what I mean when I compared you to the Queen of Hearts then check Lewis Carroll. (did you think I was insulting you?)

As for the last couple of posts, no insults there, just a little bit of my other language.

Do I hear 3500 . . . ?

Anyone, 3500 years?

Really, so the world was created in 2000 B.C.E. If we take Genesis as seriously as you do, that puts the Flood somewhere between 1000 B.C.E and 400 B.C.E.

That's just enough time for the Roman Empire to spring back up from Noah's kids and to fabricate a whole assortment of world civilizations in time for Jesus to come and die on the cross.

Does this mean your only prepared to debate as long as you can hide behind meaningless terms like 'kind' and 'macro / micro' evolution.

No. You did however imply it indirectly while refusing to say it directly that I did because you said you don't want to talk to me and then saying:

[I've told] 3 people in the 2 years [to stop talking to me] since I've been here, since you are keeping track. I normally try to over look bad manners, but after awhile it seems to be pointless.

As you seem to prefer to imply things and insinuate things while being unwilling to actually say them, I've had to try to figure out your underlying implications. Of course now you can deny your implications; this is the "strength" of your method of talking; you can "say" things without actually saying them and then deny it later.

There is no reason why our brains could have evolved into their present form. There is no reason why evolution can't produce complexity. Do you have a better theory then evolution?
