Who's making the law that draws a "red line" in taxonomy that says "nothing can reconfigure itself beyond this line."

Why, GOD IS the lawgiver here, dear tacticalogic. Where else did you think universal law could possibly come from?

Or do you believe that "finite man" creates universal law? Methinks he only discovers it. Universal law exists quite independently of human desire and will. And man is inescapably subject to it.

One can only "opt out of it", in the unreality of "one's dreams."

FWIW.

Where is this "law" that says an organism can adapt to it's environment, but cannot cross that line we've created that says it is a new species? Everybody agrees adaptation happens. It only falls into disagreement when it's submitted that adaptation can manifest itself in a way that makes an organism cross that line that makes them a new species. That's our taxonomy, not God's.

SO very true, dearest sister in Christ!

Another example: geometric form, e.g. circles, exist and the geometer merely comes along and discovers it.
