Almost. According to most of what I read evolution can explain the difference between two kinds of songbirds or between lions and tigers, but not the difference between a lizard and a flying bird, between dogs and cats, or between fish and lizards. Aside from everything else, there has never been enough time for that according to anybody’s version of how old the Earth is, i.e. you’d need quadrillions of years and not millions or billions. The problem involving the lengths of time needed to pass genetic changes through herds of animals is called the Haldane dilemma and arises from studies of population genetics.

Think about what he said again in a different way..."Evolution explains changes in life. Creationism explains its origin."
If you learn a new language or skill have you evolved? Don't you "evolve" as you learn in general?
Evolution explains changes in life.
To me that is what he was talking about.
He didn't say "Evolution explains changes in species."

Afterthought...Aside from everything else, there has never been enough time for that according to anybody’s version of how old the Earth is, i.e. you’d need quadrillions of years and not millions or billions.
You might try looking into the aspects of pre-adamite civilization for some possible answers to that dilema. Keep in mind that the Bible never says how old the Earth is. Age determination by the geneology of Adam's descendents only gives one starting point, not all starting points.
