Just to be exoteric for a moment:
While I still don't "get" the controversy over evolution, I will add that there seems to be no verb form for the word speciation. There is specialize, derived from the French, to specify, to adapt, to concentrate on a specific profession. Perhaps we can use "specify" as the verb for speciation, but that would imply a conscious choice and we assume speciation and evolution are not the result of conscious decisions except by an effective deity.
