No that is just a means of categorising the effects, it is not the thing itself. Evolution is about all the tiny accumulative effects.
That is the point. If they don't accumulate (most actually don't), then it is not evolution. The problem with many trying to assert the validity of results from microevolution experiments is they include variables that eventually cancel out due to simple Darwinian mechanisms. It's like saying a mother who has had twenty children added twenty new citizens who will be able to vote one day but later you find out only one survived past childhood.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
