The wonder of science is that you never get a knock-out, 100% certifiable
PROOF. It is all just probability.

It may be time to point out that people often have a very confused concept
of what is involved in a species transition. You will never find a hen with
any offspring other than chickens via eggs. You will never find a hen's egg
that gives anything but a chicken.

One species does not become another species in any way that would be
recognisable to an observer. It takes MANY generations, with imperceptible
differences between each parent and their offspring.

If you believe in evolution you realise that  it is impossible to observe
"something as dramatic as a species transition"because there is
no such thing (it's a continuous and extremely gradual process).
