Micro steps of a _drastically new feature that no parent of that species in
the past ever had before_ is the critical difference between micro and macro
evolution. Micro steps where the change is merely cosmetic: micro-evolution.
Micro-steps where the change is turning into drastically new functionality
(like the beginnings of wings, or gills, when no parent ever had wings or
gills, as just one example) is something entirely different:
macro-evolution. It is this sort of drastic functionality differences, even
if you claim it comes by "micro" steps, that there is no evidence of. If you
have such evidence of a species, via these "micro" steps, acquiring
_drastically new functionality that no parent *ever* had_, please present
it. You said there were "thousands" of cases. Please present 100 of them.

I've been telling you, but you seem to have not understood it. Hopefully
what I've explained above clears it up.
