if you care to read the following site, it talks about other examples of observed rapid species change/adaption which more thoroughly show that species did change when the environment demanded it- these cases were witnessed and recorded apparently- I don’t know this site, so I can’t vouch for their religious stance as I’ve not read where they stand, but this article seems to indicate they do not believe in macroevolution but have shown microevolution/adaption with the examples they gave-

“Researchers in Trinidad relocated guppies (Poecilia reticulata) from a waterfall pool teeming with predators to previously guppy-free pools above the falls where there was only one known possible predator (of small guppies only, therefore large guppies would be safe).1 The descendants of the transplanted guppies adjusted to their new circumstances by growing bigger, maturing later, and having fewer and bigger offspring.”

There’s more- where they transplanted other species and observed the rapid changes- but again, guppies remained guppies, lizards remained lizards- and no new non species specific information was ever created- and so this was not examples of macroevolution - just microevolution/adaption

Adaptation and speciation are two different things. We as humans adapt every day to our surroundings, as do animals, but we do not change into something non-human. The concept of species is open to debate. Just as different “varieties” of dogs are cross fertile, they produce other dogs, not anything other than a dog.

Genesis 1:25: And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

The argument is really mute. There has not been one new kind ever produced that can reproduce.
