Where has macro evolution ever been observed? What's the mechanism for getting new complexity such as new vital organs? How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly?

Say it with me. Met-am-or-pho-sis.
Come on people, I could understand the concept in 1st grade, it's not that hard.
Imperfect DNA-repairs, imperfect crossovers, natural selec-
Oh, my... It's worse than I thought.
Macro-evolution has been observed in that some species of flat-fish in the English Channel and the North Sea have now evolved into "normal" looking fish.
This didn't happen overnight but over several hundred generations (for those breed of fish).
Also some donkeys left standed on Christmas Island 300 years ago, can live on vitually no water. But when the animal lovers of the UK had them shipped to the UK, they all died within 3 months.
Evolution is an ongoing processs which takes several generations to show any significant change.
Check out the "Blue People" of Kentucky.

Nowhere. Your "macro evolution" is a creationist cannard.
What's the mechanism for getting new complexity such as new vital organs? Your imagination
How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly? Huh?
Ok, thats like asking how a baby could "evolve" into an adult.. In fact thats exactly what it is.
You do know what "life stages" are??? right???
(of course you clearly dont know what evolution is... so you might not....)
OH COME ON!
You are smart enough to use a computer and can write but dumb enough to say that???
I read the rest of his/her post to see if this was sarcarm but it just gets worse...
"6.If the solar system evolved, why do three planets spin backwards? Why do at least 6 moons revolve backwards?"
"19.Why won't qualified evolutionists enter into a written, scientific debate ?"
Same mechanism that causes tadpoles to grow those delicious legs.
The closest human analogy is puberty.
And it's not "evolution", btw.
"How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly?"
Metamorphosis. I thought everyone learned that in preschool.
Of course that's not evolution...
I have personally, in my youth, seen a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. I have not, however, seen a human embryo evolve into such a halfwit as this nitwit.
My flabber is utterly ghasted. If I liked cliché, I would write something like "Aargh, me irony meter's broke!!!" or "Wow. Just wow."
But I won't, because that would be sooooo dull.

Ha ha ha. Not only does he choose to go by the old 'something spontaneously turning into something that already exists and is completely different' strawman of evolution, but he picks something that actually does happen.
Ilúvatar, you make things too easy for us sometimes.
Every time a Fundie confuses Pokemon evolution with real evolution, God kills a Pikachu.
Please. Think of the Pikachus.
No. Can't be.
No one over 5 years old can possibly be that ignorant.
If this ain't a Poe, Fundie denial of reality has reached a new low.
But then, they seem to do that every week...
And how, for example, could a fundie become Homo Sapiens?:

So far, not yet. Maybe one day when they evolve with a brain containing more than two neurons.
"How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly?"
Well, first you have to train your caterpillar to level... 6, if I remember right. It will evolve into a cocoon. Train it again to level 10, and you'll have a butterfly!
But seriously. Real evolution does NOT WORK THAT WAY.
How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly?
Just that alone blasts Cre(a)ti(o)nism out of the space-time continuum.
Why didn't your 'God' just create Butterflies: why this stage before it's development?
Caterpillar to Butterfly? The processes between .
Captain Obvious (from the Hotels.com adverts) would be promoted to 7-star General if he told you that.
When a retard answers his own fucking question, it's easy to see why - even though he's a Conservative Christian - Judge John E. Jones III decided the way he did in Kitzmiller vs. Dover.
Certainly when a Cre(a)ti(o)nist retard gives an example of macroevolution, they wonder why their side failed the way it did: and they had Michael Behe: a Professor of Biochemistry testifying for the defence.
Welp, there y'have it. Next time a retard like this tries to argue against Macroevolution, just givem this nugget of fundie auto -FAIL. They're doing our own work for us.
“Where has macro evolution ever been observed?”
You DO know that ‘repeatable observation’ for science does not mean an eyewitness, right?
SO the answer is, every single species you have ever heard of and a couple more.
"What's the mechanism for getting new complexity such as new vital organs?”
Mutation and selection. Just like old complexity.
“How, for example, could a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly?”
Trial and error times a few zillion generations.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
