Re: What evidence do you expect?
Since you do accept the fact of random mutation, where do you see the "barrier" you speak of? Where is your evidence that mutation of species-defining genes cannot happen, thus breaking the barrier? Are you saying that some genes are subject to mutation while others are not? How do you explain that we have experimental and directly observed new species of bacteria forming?
You are right about probability. Saying something can't happen means that the probability is 0. If the probability is something like 0.0000000000000000002, odds are that it will happen at some point in time, just not very often.
