Let's say there is some sort of creator of the Universe.
Could that creator not have created the Universe in such a way that all the biological machinery would eventually, in time, develop and become just as we see it today?
Could this all not be a product of evolution, planned by the creator?
Or are you of the opinion that the creator is incompetent and his initial act of creation needed some extra tweaking afterwards?
I believe in some micro-evolution used as part of the implementation of the design but that is all. I don't believe there is macro-evolution or a change of kinds.
Even if there were such things, if you accept "micro evolution" then you accept evolution in its entirety since "macro evolution" is lots of "micro evolution" adding up.
Further, speciation has been observed in the wild and in the lab. Check out ring species.
"Kinds" is a term invented by god-botherers out of whole cloth for no reason other than to excuse the nonsense in the holey babble.
