I guess what you're really saying is that speciation has only been observed via data, chemistry and other non-visual changes that are not respresented by an outward change. Am I right?

Maybe, but that type of change would certainly be convincing.

If I'm called to continuously look to the periphery, somehow that seems what I'm looking for really isn't there.

You are probably saddled with an inaccurate concept of macroevolution that prevents you seeing this. From a scientific perspective macroevolution (speciation) has been observed and is not in question.
Speciation and Macroevolution are not the same! Macroevolution is caused by "NEW" genetic information, where as speciation is caused by a decrease information.

Speciation and macro-evolution are the same thing to evolutionists. If you have a different meaning for macro-evolution, it is one that is different from what evolutionists use. It would help if you used a different word so that we could discuss these things with some precision.

From the study introduced by gluadys, speciation can come about from all kinds of genetic change including increase, decrease, and change without increase or increase in the information.

But you are correct that the formula is not speciation=macroevolution

The formulas are

microevolution + time* = macroevolution for a species

and

microevolution + time* + speciation = macroevolution of many new species

* (how much time depend on the amount of environmental change and mortality during that time)

I don't know what evolutionists you've been talking to. When we get a new species of dog it isn't macroevolution!

I wasn't aware that dogs had speciated. Either way, now's your opportunity to coin a new word and define it. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Make up a word and tell me what you mean by it.

Well why are you trying to tell me about species when I seem to know info that you don't. Dogs are of the Genus "Canis" but are different species. In binomial nomenclature the name is made by putting Genus before Species. Here are examples of two dogs species.
Domestic Dog-Canis familiaris
Wolf-Canis lupus

use dogs to discuss the specifics of YECist kinds.

where is the kind boundary?
does the "dog kind" contain:
jackals? foxes? wolves? coyotes?

fertile hybrids are known within these groups.
but the groups are defined by a family: Canidae.
whose boundaries are not all that well defined scientifically. a family is a taxonomic division higher than genus.

if the dog kind does contain some or even all of these other genus, then did hyperevolution since Noah create all the various "dog kind" subgroups we now identify as various branches of Canidae?

Well, he didn't jump on it, so I'm going for the gold here:

expediciation: used to define any manner of ad hoc conceptulizations for psuedo-scientific processes that seem to serve as a refutation to strawman concepts of evolutionary theory and 'macro-evolution', especially that of speciation. Includes, but is not limited to 'kinds.'

Example: We have never visually witnessed the expediciation of one dog kind into another dog kind; therefore evolution is false.
