Re: Very Late Reply, and simply wrong
If what you say is correct why does the fossil record show times of new life forms without a connection to previous life forms, that has been called punctuated equilibrium?
If what you say is correct, how do you interpret this aspect of the fossil record?

Re: yeast is yeast and vest is vest
The breeding example is one that always provides me a chuckle.
Sheep existed before they were being bred domestically.
Sheep still exist that have not been bred domestically.
Both evolved and it's actually possible to genetically tell if a sample is from a wild or domestic sheep.
Pigs existed before they were being bred domestically.
Pigs still exist that have not been bred domestically.
Both evolved and it's actually possible to genetically tell if a sample is from a wild or domestic pig.
Canines existed before they were being bred domestically.
Canines still exist that have not been bred domestically.
Both evolved and it's actually possible to genetically tell if a sample is from a wild or domestic canine.
And we can go on and on, species after species, animal after animal including the human animals.
I suppose that the same thing is true of domesticated plants, e.g. cereals, fruit, potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbages and roses.
