To Archangel
First up: Want to say that while you are a harsh critic, you are also very good. Keep up the good work.
I think there might be a bit of confusion when you use the word "species". New "species" do occur, but as RAZD writes
Over many generations of such change you will see more accumulated differences, especially where two daughter populations become reproductively isolated, as with the Pelycodus example above, and yet even here it is not necessary to form a new taxon in the process.
So they might be classified as a new species or they may not. However as you correctly pointed out this still doesn't equate to the information increasing evolution where one type or kind (hopefully a better definition) of animal gives rise to a completly different type/kind of animal.
There are many examples of a
RAZD writes:
change in hereditary traits in a population from generation to generation
However this again does nothing for goo-to-you-via-the-zoo type evolution.
btw, have you read Arguments we think creationists should NOT use - creation.com?
Again, welcome, and awesome to have you here.

Re: Allelegorical License
Again, this is the problem with the evolutionists here. They seem to imply that the term evolution only applys to biological evolution. However this is not the case. The term evolution is used as in Cosmic evolution (nothing to do with a change in allele frequency), Stellar and Planetary Evolution (also nothing to do with a change in allele frequency), Abiogenesis is also seen as a type of evolution, and the term evolution is often associated with it, and Chemical Evolution. note that in all of these other examples of types of evolution that evolution seems to mean "simple to complex" or "order from disorder". This is the way I think the term should be used to be consistent. If you want to only talk about biological evolution then state so. But Evolution with a big E is about order from disorder or simple to complex.
