So it’s evolution, but we are not going to call it evolution. Right. Makes perfect logical sense. Maybe we can give you a Nobel Prize for your semantic chicanery.
You can call it that, if you want. That is fine, but it’s considerably more limited in its application than many scientists are willing to accept. According them, all life was descended from a couple of amoebas, but the evidence shows that there is only so far a species can adapt and it won’t adapt beyond its species.
A canine stays a canine and does not eventually become a feline and vice versa.
