A whale is still a whale and a chimp is still a chimp.

In order for evolution to work, the whale needs to turn into something else. And the chimp needs to turn into something else.

A goldfish is still a fish, and a carp is still a fish.

Sorry, no evolution here.

Give it a few million years, If they don't go extinct first they might.

And a chimp is still a primate and a man is still a primate.

I would bet the amount of genetic differences between a goldfish and a carp are similar to the differences between a chimp and man. So without a doubt if Goldfish can evole from a carp, Man can come from chimps. Actually man and chimps came from the same ancestor.

Goldfish broke off from there ancestor ~1000 years ago man broke away from chimps about 2 million. Both very short times compared to the 5 billion years since earth formed.

Again if you can get that many differences over that short of time, Over much longer periods of time we can get all the differences we see in the species today. If man continues to play with goldfish for the next 10000 years (still a very short time in the scheme of things)they will probably get something that you would be able to say it really isn't a fish anymore.
