MACROevolution vs MICROevolution - what is it?

And mutations have to increase genetic diversity, that's all there is to it. And after the new phenotype becomes fixed in the population, new mutations will produce new phenotypes which replace the previous phenotypes. It never stops.

It works perfectly. You are claiming that evolution will run out of gas. You are claiming that evolution can only go as far as the gas currently in the tank will allow it. We are pointing out the fact that you can put more gas in the tank. You are saying that after you buy a car you can only go for about 300-400 miles until the gas runs out. You are saying that putting gas in the tank ruins the purpose of the engine burning that gas. That is how silly your argument is.

Using that definition of "kind", there is only one kind of life on planet Earth because all species share a common ancestor. Humans belong to the same kind as all other species.

According to the interpretation of the evidence by hundreds of thousands of scientists over the last 150 years. If you think their scientific interpretation of the evidence leading to the conclusion of universal common ancestry is wrong, then perhaps you could present the scientific case for a lack of common ancestry.

Please explain why it is impossible for mutations to occur in these breeds leading to larger bodies.

What is stopping mutations from increasing genetic diversity in cheetahs?

If the odds are not zero, then it will happen. Humans have shown us that there are many mutations that produce the same phenotype, such as skin color or eye color. The same would apply to hair length. Where did you calculate the odds?First, how many mutations will produce long hair in dogs. Please list them.Second, what is the mutation rate in dogs.Until you supply those numbers you are just making stuff up.

Using that definition, how do you determine if two species belong to the same kind? What criteria do you use?

You need to provide some evidence for these claims. You also need to show your math. What is the "right place" in the cheetah genome? Please cite evidence.

Writing stuff in books doesn't change reality. You need to address the facts of reality. People changing their minds in the face of overwhelming evidence is what they should do. Why do you think dogma is better than having an open mind?

Let's see your math. You will be able to breed for long hair if there is a mutation that produces long hair. According to you, all humans should be homozygous at every gene, and we should all have the same alleles. Otherwise, we would not be species with set characteristics. This is how ridiculous your position is. Again, show us your math. Assertions are worth nothing. The reason that humans and chimps are different species is because of mutations scattered through their genomes. And new genetic material is produced by new mutations.You might as well say that a car can only travel 400 miles because it only has enough gas to travel 400 miles.

That indicates that gains of function do occur through random mutations.

They didn't in the example we are using. Humans and chimps don't interbreed. What you apparently won't do is address the example I have given where there is no interbreeding.

When DNA accumulates mutations at a rate consistent with neutral drift then there is reason to think that it has lost function. About 90% of the human genome is accumulating mutations at a rate consistent with neutral drift. If that were so then there wouldn't be any humans. Each human is born with 50-100 mutations. If you are correct, then every conception would end in a spontaneous abortion. If the DNA sequence differences between species are not responsible for the physical differences between species, then please tell us what is.

If I write a book that says the Sun orbits the Earth, the Sun will not start orbiting the Earth. The theory of evolution has been around for 150 years now. Still going strong.
