The seed itself is not evolving. Its progeny, however, do not have exactly the same genetic code. It is this variation that is part of the process that inquiring people call evolution.

What made the seed fall there? Was it the way it bounced? Its aerodynamic qualities? Its ability to roll off of stones until it hit soft ground? Why does a maple seed have a wing on it? Because if the seeds fall too close to the parent tree, the will not get enough light or nutrient to grow. The bigger the wing, the farther it falls from the parent, and the better its chance of surviving.

I am not disputing God's hand in evolution. I am simply saying that the process is evident even in the short span of time that we can observe it.

But the maple tree produces more maple trees. The maple tree doesn't change into an oak tree. That is my only point. Kind after kind, as Genesis states.
