thinman, speciation via Natural Selection or any other mechanism has never, never been observed. Far from a fact. Something that cannot and has not been tested or observed cannot be considered a fact. It is fallacious to assume that because NS can shape the beak of a finch, that it is also responsible for the finch. This is an unwarranted extrapolation. The amount of Complex Specified Information (CSI) required to generate biological novelty is dizzying and there is no natural mechanism which produces it.
Furthermore, we have a fossil record which shows hominids (the small fragments of debatable bones that we have) as being distinct in their own right - cranial capacity, etc... with no clear transitions. If anything we would do well to assume that these finds represent either extinct ape species, or modern humans with severe genetic abnormalities and/or diseases.
The bottom line is that the public has been sold variation as speciation.
