yes i agree with that. I believe in evolution up to a point...only to the point where evolution says that one animal slowly changes into something entirely different
I assume you are not denying that, say, seeds and embryos change into adult lifeforms.
So I take it that you mean that animals don't become different species of animals, such as reptiles gradually changing into birds?
In a way you are correct. One animal does not become an entirely different kind of animal. The ToE does not claim that.
What it does claim is that the
offspring of lifeforms does sometimes differ from its parents in ways significant enough to accumulate along generations to the point that they become different species. Specific generations are, so to speak, "set" in their own species and won't change (there are somewhat esoteric exceptions, but I don't think they are helpful to this debate). But the difference among generations does build up with time.
The dna allows for great 'variety' within each type of animal... but it doesnt allow it to become a completely different type of animal.
That is not true, and has been proven untrue both in theory and in practice. For instance, some varieties of horse, fish and dog have been created or even recreated by selective breeding.
Maybe you object that the offspring of horses are still horses and never zebras, goats, bears or other kinds of animals?
