Although I don't have a biology background sufficient to contribute to most C/E discussions, I am usually lurking around and crunching every word.
To The Elder: I was disappointed in your response to Ooook! in this post. In contrast to your counter-challenge, he was not asking you for "proof" of anything. He merely asked that you point out one specific example of (macro-)morphological change which could not have occurred due to accumulated micro-evolutionary process and to suggest any factors which might act as a barrier to this process.
He even requested that you select an example from among the modern evolutionary interpretations of the fossil record.

Remainder of quote originally posted by Ooook!
Define a real (ie one suggested by the theory of evolution not one imagined by creationists) 'macroevoltionary' step and explain why simple changes in DNA could not have caused it.
I, for one, would have been interested to read your answer. Perhaps John Paul or someone else would be willing to point to such a specific example and suggest any possible barrier.
Namaste'
