> And no biologist worth his salt would ever assert (even only by implication) that evolution involves members of different genera or members of different families interbreeding.

Thats the point I was trying to make but the terminology didn’t come out correctly. The thrust of evolutionists if I understand their thought process as that ond species evolved from an amoeba, later into a lungfish type creature, then eventually evolving into snd becoming Man

Correct me if I’m wrong but that’s what I get from some of them. No use trying to debate them seriously until you’ve done your homework though and spoken to some informed sources with a career background in the subject

In very broad strokes, that is correct (though this doesn't do justice to the mechanisms - mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, epigenetic influences, etc.) by which this occurs.

But it is essential to bear in mind that the evolutionary process is extremely slow - so slow as to be virtually undetectable on a generational level. Thus, at no time is it expected or necessary (in the case of sexually reproducing creatures) for an individual to mate with another individual whose genome exhibits a marked difference.

I commend you on your open-mindedness, and would encourage you to consult someone in your circle of friends and acquaintances with a background in Biology who can better explain this to you.

Regards,
