:
: Speciation has been observed in the field and in the lab, many times.
So
: the answer is a resounding yes, as you have been told many, many times.
Speciation that you've observed has never been a case of what you
call a [rat] producing an animal over generations that is no
longer what you call a [rat]. (And you can change [rat] to any
animal you want, and it remains a fact).
You've only observed [rat]s producing [rat]s that look different,
due to speciation.
