45. Two problems there.

1. That's a long way to travel up the biological taxonomy in order to avoid talking about species, which just shows that you're trying really hard to deny the truth.

2. You lose. I have 3 examples for you of evolution at work, two from microbiology, and one from the mammal world which even blows away your "syngameon" canard.

Behold: the mule.
For those who don't know, syngameon actually refers to a population of organisms. Organisms are said to be a part of the same syngameon if they can combine genetic material (breed and produce offspring). Horses and donkeys, for example, can breed. This makes them part of the same syngameon. But their offspring, (a mule or hinny depending on the combination of parents used) cannot breed. There have been nearly no viable offspring from hinnies, and there are never viable offspring from mules. This means that the mule and the hinny are not part of the same syngameon as their parents. Evolution at work!

Behold: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
Over the course of thousands of generations, this bacteria has evolved to the point where it is actually capable of resisting almost every drug we throw at it.

Behold: Influenza
Do you know why you have to get a flu shot every year if you intend to remain protected? It's not because the immunization that you received last year "wore off". It's because the virus itself has evolved, and is now so different that your immune system will not recognize it properly in order to defend your body.

These are 3 examples from countless more that are available to you. If you would like to learn more about the facts of evolution, then I suggest (and I'm not kidding because these books serve as starting points) "Evolution for Dummies".
