That is so bogus, just change the definition of species and voila! A pure crap factory is born.
There is no evidence of a "Genesis kind" of species changing into another species.
A fruit fly can not change into a dog, etc.
THE "GENESIS KIND"
The Bible explains what a true species is. You will find it in Genesis. Back in the beginning, the law of the "Genesis kinds" was established by the God of heaven:
"Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind . . and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind."—Genesis 1:11-12.
In the same way, the birds, sealife, and animals were each to reproduce "after their kind" (Genesis 1:20-22, 24-25). This principle was not to be violated—and it is what we find in the fossil record and in our world today: only distinct species. It is true that some species are extinct; but, extinct or not, all creatures have been in distinct species.
The "Genesis kind" is generally equivalent to what is now called "species"; but, as we noted earlier, not always. The variation is due to flaws in our humanly devised classification system. The true species is the "Genesis kind." It is the biological species, and is increasingly called that.
MANY VARIETIES POSSIBLE WITHIN A SPECIES
It is of interest that there are more different types of dogs than any other species in the world—yet scientists recognize them all to be in the same "species." That is highly significant. There often can be wide variations within a species, because the DNA permits it. In some species, a narrow number of possible subspecies are possible. The cheetah has such narrowed DNA that it can only produce cheetahs—and no varieties of subspecies.
THE BASIC TYPE IS ALWAYS THE HARDIEST
Another interesting fact is that plant and animal breeding can produce new subspecies, but they are never quite as hardy as the basic species. This fact clearly points us to the great truth, seen in the fossil record and everywhere today, that it would be impossible to accidentally or selectively breed a creature to the point that it jumped out of its species and became a new one.
