DNA + Microevolution+ Bayes =Macroevolution

Ok, so you're back to basics and claiming that birds, primates, and reptiles all evolved from wet rocks over billions of years. You could have skipped the whole sand dune analogy and just went with the mantra.

I'm sorry, but I can't compete with that. I respect your opinion, but find it abhorrent that you call it scientific.

You can't prove your theory in a true scientific arena any more than I can prove that "God" exists.

Which brings us back to MY underlying point, which is that we need to stop indoctrinating our children with unscientific macroevolution claims and calling it fact.

So your plan was just to not listen to anything I said, huh? I'm giving you a logical framework for 'macroevolution' (a term I never use) and you resort to these kind of tactics? Why don't you address the points? It is a very fundamental point that there never, ever was a first bird.

I was willing to show you the scientific evidence for macroevolution as well, I just wanted to get the logical problems out of the way first. Its important you don't think its IMPOSSIBLE for macroevolution to occur, or else what is the purpose of me showing your scientific evidence?

Your problem is that you think I have an issue with the basic idea of evolution.

I don't.

It's a fine theory... and all the pretty pictures over the years are excellent tools to try and drum up support your theory.

My problem is that a completely unprovable THEORY is being passed off as fact to hundreds of millions of children who dont' know any better, and this indoctrination is being supported by my tax dollars.

That's my problem.

But no one seems to be able to grasp that. I think we should only teach actual facts as facts in science text books. Not showing them a few choice facts and then using those to try and swindle the readers of said text book into following a certain religion on the backs of tax payers.

Really? You don't know the difference between a theory and a fact? I thought we were WAY past this. I can't even imagine how you could teach a science class using only facts and no theories. It would surely be the worst class ever taught.
