Certainly, we have had microevolution which means animals can evolve within their own kind to be smaller, larger, etc. You can do this with breeding different animals and in a few short years you will come up with something that looks quite different, but it is still a dog, cat or whatever KIND of animal you started with.

Certainly? You make it sound pretty straightforward.

So dogs and cats are different kinds? How about hyenas? Are they in the dog kind, the cat kind, or a different kind? Or maybe there are multiple "kinds" within dogs and/or cats? Are sharks all one kind, or multiple kinds? If the former, what about skates? Are they in the shark kind? How about rays? Horses all one kind? How many "kinds" of weasels? How about monkeys? Are turtles and tortoises one "kind"? Sea turtles included? (That's a lot of adaptation between a tortoise and a sea turtle!) Llamas and Camels? One kind or two (or more)? Are chimpanzees and gorillas the same kind? If so, how would you explain that chimps are genetically more similar to humans than they are to gorillas? (Maybe humans are part of a larger "ape kind"?!) Etc.

More important, how would you go about answering such questions, and how is your procedure tied to some more general theory of creationism?

We have evidence of micro-evolution, not macro-evolution.
You haven't evidence that a dinosaurs turned into a birds. When there is evidence cited, it is found out later to either be a fraud or a mistake. Fossils prove nothing except the thing died. The ape pictures are just made up. They even put human looking feet on their displays to prove their point when no human looking feet were ever found with the ape bones. The horse chart is a fraud. The tadpole looking embryos is a fraud. The big bang theory is nothing but a religion. If there was a big bang everything would be spinning in the same direction which it is not.
