So what stops micro-changes from accumulating?

I've asked this several times now and not one single attempt at an answer.

Evolution. It's not designed to change kinds.

Evolution.  It's designed to change kinds.

How does it stop micro-changes accumulating over time?

I meant it is not designed to change kinds.  I fixed the error in my post.

OK, so how does evolution stop micro-changes accumulating over time within the same 'kind' ?

That is the way it is designed from the evidence I have seen.  There was an explosion of life at the Cambrian.  I know there are some believers that think we have a common ancestor but I do not believe the evidence supports this.

So you say it was designed that way but have no idea how it was designed nor what mechanism it uses. Is it magic?

How do you know that there is a mechanism then?
