1.) I think my answer would depend on the type of change that you are talking about.
2.) That type of begging the question, and the arguing from popularity in the OP.... don't really help your position from my perspective.

It seems to me that you don't doubt evolutionary biology, or even speciation. You just think that some, or most of it (though not all, I doubt you believe that god is painting the individual plumage patterns on every single bird) is attributable to artificial selection. Would that be accurate?
If it is, might your position on the matter be more thoroughly and competently argued by referring to that artificial selection, and how you can distinguish it from natural selection...than by arguing against the theory that explains how both work?
(hey, also, if you're the kind that believes in kinds...what are the chances you might handle that list I posted?)
@RR
This is what I mean by 'your position'. (you said it better than I was going to, Khem, so thank you.)
Telling me all the little things that bug you about the theory of evolution is not stating a position on the subject of diversity of life on earth. So, care to take another crack at it?
Sorry, I was referring to what was said. I didn't realize you where trying to change the subject. Did my questions make you uncomfortable?
