Default Re: DNA + Microevolution+ Bayes =Macroevolution

[ QUOTE ]
Evolutionists on this forum seem to struggle a bit with this objection and are forced to point to rare cases to make their point.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is incorrect - examples of "macroevolution" are far from rare - the earth today as well as the fossil and molecular history are teeming with them.

Unless I am confused about something, once we are aware of the existence of DNA and the existence of mutations, then what is to stop an animal to occasionally be born with enough mutations that it qualifies as a different species?

[/ QUOTE ]

1. Irreducible complexity (i.e. the eye)
2. Lack of a sufficient rate of mutation
3. The generally harmful effect of multiple mutations

[/ QUOTE ]

The eye isn't irreducibly complex, but I think your point is that it is prohibitively unlikely to mutate de novo.
