and still the ocean iguana and the desert iguana, are strikingly still, iguanas.

Was just making the one point, I am not an advocate of evolutionary theory. But I am an advocate of good arguments and a critic of weak ones whichever side I am on.

Not sure the existence of two different kinds of iguanas that are still iguanas has much bearing on the questions commonly debated. My own notions of the state of science as a layman depends on the question:

Does adaptive evolution within a species go on: Of cource

Does adaptive evolution result in entirely new species with new features: I guess it might, not sure

Does all life on earth descend form a common ancestor: Maybe, but not sure.

Did the first life spring forth by some abiogentic process unaided: Does not seem plausible, don't know of any realistic hypothesis about this.

For the two middle questions I do not feel my opinion is very informed as biology is not an area of study I have dedicated myself much to.
