Macroevolution is not a fact. Yes, I do believe that "things" change over time (people get older). But I am not gullible or naive to believe that one species transforms into another species (that is a downright lie/fairytale).
Is a bear going to become a duck, no but they can change over time and after enough changes become an entirely new species. No animal changes into something that already exists but to something new.
JIA: You still need to address my question.
As someone who supports SCIENCE and thus sees evolution as a valid explanation for observable phenomena I could also tell you what evidence would not fit with evolutionary theory. For instance, if a species of animal on Earth were found to be reproducing in a way that did not involve genetics, or if a creature that had completely new units other than DNA. Irreducible complexity, were it shown, would be an almost slam dunk case against evolution.
So, I am going to ask you then:
1) What evidence would show you that the space for the universe did not come from God?
2) What evidence would show you that matter does not come from God?
3) What evidence would prove to you that the laws of the universe do not come from God?
4) What evidence would show you that the organization of matter does not originate from God?
5) What evidence would show you that the energy responsible for organizing the matter did not come from God?
6) What evidence would show you that life forming from non-living matter was not the work of God?
7) What evidence would show you that reproduction does not come from God?
8) What evidence would show you that the first sexual organs did not require God?
9) What evidence would show you that the desire to reproduce is not related to God?
10) What evidence would prove to you that variation in species is not the work of God?
11) What evidence would show you that genetic similarities are the result of a common ancestor rather than the work of God?
12) What evidence would show you that the increase in complexity of the genetic code is not the work of God?
13-15) What evidence, for any one of those things you listed, would show you that they are natural rather than God?
Now, I only ask this because you claim that God is more science than evolution. Well, real scientists HAVE TO KNOW TH ANSWER TO THIS. They have to be able to explain why the observable evidence supports their claim and not any other.
Upon more thought, even just an answer for number 11. Really, you don't get to call whatever you believe a science until you do this.

Prove it! (sorry I just got a little overly enthusiastic).

Or do you believe that these 3 different variations of the same species have existed since the dawn of time?
Prove macroevolution.
