OK, when did selective breeding become the same as evolution?

Natural selection is selective breeding.

“Natural selection is selective breeding”

Yes, in that nature is doing the selecting. But when we talk about breeding, we’re talking about an artificial process. It’s humans rather than nature deciding what genes get passed on to the next generation. There are similarities between the two processes, but they’re really not the same thing. And if nothing else, breeding was not what Darwin was on about, and therefore the results of dog breeding wouldn’t prove his points either way.
