[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this may help:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_evolution[/quote]
[b]This article only mentions traits within a species. No mention of mutation from one species to an entirely different one.[/b]

The interesting thing about the Biblical account, is that each species reproduced "according to its kind," mean start with a dog, get another dog. So what's interesting is that this "according to its kind" reproduction is actually repeatable, observable, testable, reproducible; in other words, "science."[/quote]

OP, please see what I wrote above.  What you are looking for is not evolution.  No scientist ever said that if you breed dogs together, they will one day mutate spontaneously into a cat.[/quote]
And you're simplifying what I wrote. What I [i]am[/i] saying is that you'll always get a dog. [/quote]

Not that PP, but with one mating. Yes. But not necessarily over thousands of years. [/quote]

OP, first you'll need to define what a  species is. That's not easy to do. Many of us think of species as a group of individuals that actually or potentially interbreed in nature. That definition of a species might seem cut and dried — and for many organisms (e.g., mammals), it works well — but in many other cases, this definition is difficult to apply. For example, many bacteria reproduce mainly asexually. How can the biological species concept be applied to them? Many plants and some animals form hybrids in nature, even if they largely mate within their own groups. Should groups that occasionally hybridize in selected areas be considered the same species or separate species? The concept of a species is a fuzzy one because humans invented the concept to help get a grasp on the diversity of the natural world. It is difficult to apply because the term species reflects our attempts to give discrete names to different parts of the tree of life — which is not discrete at all, but a continuous web of life, connected from its roots to its leaves.

So, start there.[/quote]
