#####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?#####

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.

That failure of the fossil record is rather a biggie. So big in fact that Darwin himself said his theory should be 86'ed if fossil evidence was not forth coming and it hasn't been. The study of DNA, genetics, species, certainly has it's place, but it's study should not begin at the point of an unproven assumption which is exactly what one branch of evolution teaches.
