Dogs and wolves don't even have the same anatomy, how can you say they are from the same family?
The proof is the diversity we see, the evidence is all the things you deny.

That was a poor example, people can see and feel the sun so we know its there.
This process of evolution has no proof to tell us that its there, only that there are changes, that isn't proof that they are evolution.
Doesn’t it? You were claiming the cabbit as proof positive science is wrong so of course it matters and you still have not posted that link that describes the cabbit
It doesn't matter if cabbit are real or not,
But you totally ignored my answer to that post with supporting links, so you even cherry pick what answers you will accept, don’t read links supplied and then lie about people avoiding answering while avoiding answering yourself. Classic tooth ache
you just totally ignore dog / wolf and mules because you know your wrong, and you have to emphasize on cabbits so that you have something to hide behind while you ditch the other two with no answer.
What are not the same species? Cabbits?
They are NOT the same species and in fact have many identifiable features.
Nope there is a third option. You have not got a clue what you’re talking about and don’t intend to correct that ignorance. That is firmly your problem
So its one of two things, either we don't know how to properly classify species, or they really aren't the same species and Gametic Isolation has nothing to do with proving a species to be different from one another.
Yet you claim the cabbit is a great example that shows science wrong.. Where is that link I asked for?

The liger is a poor example as he was a man made hybrid through DNA.

There is no evidence in the fossil records that is pure speculation. Fossil records can't prove evolution.
THIS...statement of yours seems to be the problem you are having.
There is plenty of evidence that backs Evolution as being a fact.
There is evidence in the Fossil records. There is evidence in the Genetics to such a comprehensive and extensive level that this evidence alone is proof positive.
The Evolutionary process...that being Natural Selection forced by Enviromental Condition or Predator Prey conflicts or Forced Adaptation caused by Enviromental Chemical reaction and Solar Radiation which causes Mutation....is a self evident and proven process responsible for the variety of species both living and extinct existing on Earth.
No matter how many times or how many different ways you try to say something that in your mind...will disprove Evolution to exist...it will never be so.
The bottom line is speciation is assumed when a species can no longer breed with its group, not by physical differences. So if thats the case why do scientists make claims that species are different based on physical properties?
Ring species also present an interesting case of the species problem, for those who seek to divide the living world into discrete species. After all, all that distinguishes a ring species from two separate species is the existence of the connecting populations - if enough of the connecting populations within the ring perish to sever the breeding connection, the ring species' distal populations will be recognized as two distinct species.
The problem, then, is whether to quantify the whole ring as a single species (despite the fact that not all individuals can interbreed) or to classify each population as a distinct species (despite the fact that it can interbreed with its near neighbours). Ring species illustrate that the species concept is not as clear-cut as it is often thought to be.
There is no evidence in the fossil records that is pure speculation. Fossil records can't prove evolution.
Natural selection is nothing more than extinction at work. There is nothing that proves natural selection to be part of evolution, thats only speculation, just like how all changes are also part of the network called evolution. Someone just connected a bunch of dots and the only thing holding the theory together is the author.
There is MORE evidence that humans were placed here, and MORE evidence then evolution, that our proper food is not here for us.
Go back and read the post from me you ignored
Even if I'm wrong, there is still dog / wolf and mules.
Tooth, you have been spoon fed all this and chose many times to ignore it. Why do you think I will supply it again knowing you will again ignore it.

Nope. Cant decode that nonsense
In lab tests durring speciation, they never find physical differences that they could claim the species to be different. Yet we still identify physical differences to determine species. In the lab, these subjects never show signs of physical difference yet they can't breed. In life, the wolf and dog do show signs of physical difference, yet they still can breed. The horse and donkey also show signs of difference and can still breed.
What? But here you say they can just a few posts up
There is only one conclusion, physical differences can't be used to determine if a species is different.
So again nothing you say makes sense and your story changes with near every word you type
They are NOT the same species and in fact have many identifiable features.
But that same evidence also totally supports the idea of intervention. The only difference is we also have a book thats telling us thats how it happened.

Being able to interbreed or not makes no difference on determining that its a new species, as proven through the examples of dog wolf and mule. On the other side, there are sometimes problems with the species that could prevent breeding, and there is no way to rule out all the possibilities so there is no way to claim its evolution by default.
A species is often defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. While in many cases this definition is adequate, the difficulty of defining species is known as the species problem.
But that same evidence also totally supports the idea of intervention. The only difference is we also have a book thats telling us thats how it happened.
It doesn't matter if you feel that there is so much evidence about evolution, I promise you, there is tons more evidence in intervention.
One thing that would totally toss evolution out the window is if people started looking at the actuall age of the DNA from each species. With some effort you would see that the whole idea of claiming that certain species either branched off from certain species, would not fit. As an example, you would learn that the timeline to transition from whales to reptiles wouldn't jive.
That same book that you base your ever changing claims on. The book that is based on what you called an imposter but everyone else that reads it calls the one true god. That book?
But that same evidence also totally supports the idea of intervention. The only difference is we also have a book thats telling us thats how it happened.
A creators, or even several could have used recycled sections of DNA to create an ongoing list of life, just like how humans do today in all of their creations.
You're just recycling the same old rubbish and to quote you 'I am not buying it'
As an example Cars are fitted ............................... (meaningless drivel) ................
More nonsense which you finish with:

Whales did not evolve into reptiles. You have been given so much information on whales that even if you do not accept it you should at least know what evolution says about how a whale evolved. A two second search would show how ridiculous yet another claim you make is not just wrong but very very very wrong
As an example, you would learn that the timeline to transition from whales to reptiles wouldn't jive.

For example why can't dogs and wolves mate with Dingos, they should be just as close.
Dingo hybrids Main article: Interbreeding of dingoes with other domestic dogs A "dingo" with an unusual color pattern The dingo (Canis lupus dingo) breeds freely with other domestic dogs. This is now so widespread that in some areas, dingoes are now mostly mixed-breed dogs, crossed in recent times with dogs from other parts of the world. However, DNA study shows that "the dingo originates from domesticated dogs, originally from East Asia"[8] (which reverted to the wild) and so interbreeding between dingos and other domestic dogs is also not a hybridization in the same sense as an interbreeding between different species of Canidae.
