"So the faith of Darwinism trumps the science of speciation."

All we really see is reproduction among interbreeding species or kinds. Walter ReMine's discontinuity systematics is a good start to understanding how the various species are organized as kinds

I’m aware of DNA charts that attempt to show systematically that A is like B.

They assume that the shortest path to A is through B which is Ockham’s Razor.

However, they assume that A gradually became B, and that’s not really what we see in the fossil record. We see discontinuities. It’s not a straight gradual process like erosion, where over time one species becomes another. We see dead ends, reversions, regressions, etc. We see spikes and peaks and valleys.
