OK, then you have committed the fallacy of equivocation for believing that 'changes in the gene pool over time' equates to 'evolution'.

That is the DEFINITION of evolution that one learns in Biology 101. It's no fallacy.

"That is the DEFINITION of evolution that one learns in Biology 101. It's no fallacy."

The fallacy comes in when you assume that a DEFINITION can be extrapolated backward into unobservable time.

Remember science? Observable, testable, repeatable? Well, when you extrapolate current observations back into unobservable time based on a DEFINITION, you have engaged in logical fallacy and it is no longer science.

I tried to warn you...
