You really discussion on evolution don't you? Lol. I have been looking at some of it. Im still not well knowledged on the subject but just from what I've been reading can we agree that microevolution is definitely true but there are limits to variation that can't be crossed? Something that is pushed too far such as selective breeding. It has its limits and will eventually die out. Is that right?

There are certain kinds of physical limits like the size an animal can reach. I'm not sure selective breeding is a good example of that because breeders are always breeding for variations on a similar sort of animal.
I'm not aware of any experiments where people have tried to fundamentally change an organism.
Might be fun to try though.
