Please explain and provide the "evidence" to what logical or biological barriers would prevent microevolutionary changes from becoming macroevolutionary changes over long spans of time
It's called Mendel's Law. Go ahead and look it up.
Now since you are claiming it can happen, go ahead and provide your evidence.
Oh wait..
Men·del's law (mĕn′dlz)
n.
1. One of two principles of heredity first formulated by Gregor Mendel, founded on his experiments with pea plants and stating that the members of a pair of homologous chromosomes segregate during meiosis and are distributed to different gametes. Also called law of segregation.
2. The second of these two principles, stating that each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes segregates during meiosis independently of the members of other pairs, so that alleles carried on different chromosomes are distributed randomly to the gametes. Also called law of independent assortment.

Men′del's law′
n.
1. Also called law of segregation. the principle stating that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent.
2. Also called law of independent assortment. the principle stating that the laws of chance govern which particular characteristics of the parental pairs will occur in each individual offspring.
3. Also called law of dominance. the principle stating that one factor in a pair of traits dominates the other in inheritance unless both factors in the pair are recessive.

Mendel's law (mĕn′dlz)
Any of the principles first proposed by Gregor Mendel to describe the inheritance of traits passed from one generation to the next. ♦ Mendel's first law (also called the law of segregation) states that during the formation of reproductive cells (gametes), pairs of hereditary factors (genes) for a specific trait separate so that offspring receive one factor from each parent. ♦ Mendel's second law (also called the law of independent assortment) states that chance determines which factor for a particular trait is inherited. ♦ Mendel's third law (also called the law of dominance) states that one of the factors for a pair of inherited traits will be dominant and the other recessive, unless both factors are recessive.

the more and more evolution falls flat on its face with absurd claims and lack of evidence, the more and more credence it gives to creationism. Watching scientists trying to "figure things out" is like watching a dog chase its own tail.

Prove the soul and spirit please.
We could just have the illusion of those things.
We don't have wings because we have not needed them and split from the bird family a very long time ago.
this is old junk DNA
I just don't understand why the religious are always the ones fighting evolution
We have found many transitional; fossils

No. Not even close.
Evolutionary theory could be proven to be completely wrong and that would NOT prove Creationism to be true in any way.

Here OP this is real proof because it is done by scientists not cheats and frauds.

Yes, it's called variation within a species, there is no such thing as macro evolution.

If one wants to see evolution in practise one only needs to take the example of the common dog. I see no debate here. Forced or not is another question entirely.
Or perhaps sheepdogs were created to specifically herd sheep and chihuahuas to annoy people.

Whereas watching religion trying to explain nature is like watching a dog trying to paint the Sistine Chapel.

I'm sorry, did you miss the 23 references in the bibliography section below? Of course you did. I doubt you even clicked the link, let alone read a paragraph.
This whole thread is a joke. I'm out. See you guys around.

Creationism is the ultimate cop-out. No need to apply your brain, just say "The magic sky pixie did it!"
End of story, no further thought or intellectual curiosity required.
