Do not take evolution as gospel. It is only a theory. Some would say it takes alot of faith to believe in evolution as so many scientist are now becoming Christians and changing there view. As the son of a veterinarian I can tell you most species if not all cannot crossbreed. Have you ever wondered where a mule comes from? It cannot come from another mule cause all mules are born sterile to the mixing of a horse and a donkey. Have you ever wondered why we don't actually see evolution taking place today? Ever wonder why there are monkeys still around when they are supposed to evolved into humans? Do you see why evolution is really like a religion?

A dog can't breed with a pig (except in South Park), but yes, all species evolved from other species. An extreme example is whales, which evolved from bears. Typically what will happen is a species will travel to a new environment and over time evolve to adapt to that environment. Note that this does not mean the original species is replaced - only the group that moved to the new climate has changed, and you end up with two seperate species over a long enough period of time.

No...breeding is only possible between EXACT species. Therefore, dogs will only breed with dogs and produce dogs. Each species has evolved...natural selection. For instance, over time when a certain species obtains new characteristics through each successive generation that helps it survive, it ultimately will evolve into an entirely different species.

There is nothing in Christianity or REAL science to Support Macro Evolution. A Pig Could evolve into a smaller pig but nothing really supports A Pig evolving into a Dog (Evolution is just another Religion) MicroEvolution is biblical and Real but MACRO is not.

The definition of what makes a species different from another is a matter of scientific abstraction. If an organism gives rise to another (through birth in animals or otherwise in plants) which varies enough in these defining characteristics then, YES, one species can be the source of another. It just depends upon the possibility of genetic variation beyond the bounds of species definition which is quite possible across many genetic lines.

Yes different species can interbreed. A lion and a tiger have interbred (with human intervention) as well as a grizzly bear and a polar bear (on their own) and so will lynx and bobcats (on their own). Various other species are able to breed as well - the question is what you count as the line between the species and what you think determines an evolutionary change between taking one species into a new species. We have recently discovered what we believe is the missing link between dinosaurs and birds - but if you are someone who doesn't want to believe that, then it won't be "good enough" evidence for you.

I really don't think that a dog could have been bred to a become a pig, but I think you are basically right about select SPECIES evolving over time, but I really can't and won't belive that people evolved from monkeys...and if they did then why are there still apes that we supposedly evolved from on this earth? so many questions...the good thing is that salvation doesn't depend on how you believe species evolve, but whether or not you believe in the gospel :)

Uh. No. you pick to take a straightforward biology type. The foundation of the universe has virtually no longer some thing to do with the evolution of our species. starting to be a healthful human isn't all that puzzling, even as those born undesirable die off. That leaves only healthful ones to reproduce, increasing the prospect of fit toddlers. Your "possibilities" are for sure made up prompt. Evolution isn't about accomplishing perfection. it is about those who're ideal equipped to a particular surroundings being better in all probability to live to inform the tale and reproduce in that surroundings. it isn't any longer about those who're proper, because there is no such ingredient. demise isn't a ailment, it truly is a organic procedure. no one is hoping for the day even as no one dies. human beings die, yet i'm particularly positive it isn't any longer subsequently of a constrained telomerase sequence. no matter if it became, the question of "who" placed it there is ridiculous, because it may were genetic like quite a few different area of our DNA. once you're suggesting that some larger being is behind all of it, then how do you clarify the upward thrust in everyday lifespan over the years? Did God ascertain to make longer telomerase sequences?

Gnostic is the only truth. Christian is not a religion. Evolution is creation. Evolution is nothing of importance. Have faith. Your goal is to get to the spirit world, and you can only do this by the spiritual knowledge. Study, study, study. Good luck.
Gnosticism is the truth.

Different spices can not inter-breed.
Evolution happens when a animal is born with a random difference (mutation) that gives it an advantage in its environment that lets it have more offspring who inherit the mutation and go on to have more than average offspring.
An so on and so on...
