It is a perfect example of one thing becoming a different thing. The problem is there is no scientific way to accomplish such a feat. It was tried many times.
Just as there is no way to show macroevolution ever occurred. There is no scientific verifiable reproducible evidence for macroevolution.
So an equivalent argument would be that God can't exist because I've never seen anyone turn into a pink gerbil when they pray, nor has anyone else ever seen it, and you can't prove that it ever happened.
Seriously, when you say that evolution isn't true because we've never seen anything like a bacterium turning into a horse - which according to you is a legitimate representation of a "kind" turning into a different "kind" - you're making exactly the same argument.

Re: Nested clades
Thanks, Perdition. My point exactly but far superior in form and content.
