"Macro-Evolution (one species jumping to another) has not been observed, or documented."

Perhaps my definition of species is different from that of most other people. If
Long Latin Name 1 interbreeds with
Long Latin Name 2 and sprouts
Long Latin Name 3, yet they're both a Daisy yet the second has an off-orange center instead of a yellow center, all I see is a Daisy.
Now, if the Daisy was crossbred until it was a Tulip, and the Tulip turned into a Fern, and the Fern into a Maple... then you have Macro Evolution. Daisy-to-Daisy, Fruit-Fly to Fruit-Fly, Dog-to-Dog, species-specific, micro-evolution.
When I say evolution, I say cosmic soup to supercomputer, billions of years in the making evolution, not "Oh look this is a new fruit fly".
But then, maybe the study of Macro evolution hasn't been going on for long enough, the scientists probably don't have a long enough timeline to draw from where solid documentation was taking place. Maybe they just need some more time.
*Shrug* I can wait.
