Yeah. Change over time is evolution.
No one is claiming dogs turn into cats... this is one of the things I cover in my video above. Evolution occurs to a species over hundreds of thousands of generations, before you see noticeable changes. Individuals do not evolve, or give birth to different species.
(I put it in during an edit.)
"Dogs", "cats" and any other classifications are just ways of us making it easier for ourselves to identify things. Evolution occurs on a spectrum. Everything is a transitional form.
He needs to do some learning. Whether he's prepared to, is up to him. It's like you telling him Jesus doesn't exist because Jesus is a party hamper filled with invisible egg nog. Ignorance is no excuse.
