" Name one breed and site evidence."

Chihuahua and bull mastiff. You think that will happen naturally?

" I have a hard time seeing it that way. All of the evidence seems to point the other way."

Artificial selection shows the ability of selective pressures to change the morphology of a species to incredible lengths.


"The article seem to suggest that the definitive proof of evolution would be the “sub-populations to adapt to new environments in ways that reduce their ability to interbreed” and that has always been my understanding of Darwin’s theory (remember his finches)."

Evolution is not synonymous with natural selection.

"Intension has nothing to do with it; according to Darwin’s theory dogs should be a new species and should not be able to breed with wolves."

Nope, evolution doesn't say that at all.

If you can hold'em still, a chihuahua and bullmastif can breed quite successfully. Remember, with dogs it's just a matter of cycles and chemistry ~ they really aren't terribly selective, eh?!

The Chihuahua will become 'dog food'.

Oh, yeah? Well then please explain why else the chihuahua would have asked the bull mastiff: "Did I hurt you honey?"
