Your statement doesn't change anything. Science, as you stated, is not exact. It is just as probable, more so in fact, given the body of evidence recorded in scriptures, that a Creator plugged in what ever DNA or genetic element required for the particular species that He wished to create, thus the similarities.
Certainly a species will adapt to it's environment, but one species does not turn into, nor evolve into another species. And wasn't there evidence just released that there were several spontaneous eruptions of different species over time?
As in, "and God said let there be fish in the sea, and birds to fly in the firmament, and let there be creeping things, and cattle all after their own kind"? Now hasn't evolution rather confirmed scripture which is why it is either being toss'ed out of the education curriculum, as Darwin said it should be if his theory failed to present evidence of one species evolving into another? At best evolution should be taught alongside the just as valid alternative.

The punctuated equilibria theory popularized by Gould argues that evolution occurs in sudden dramatic bursts rather than over long periods of gradualism. That theory was put forth to try to explain the failure of the fossil record to demonstrate traditional Darwinian evolution.
