You have some idea about God's plan in relation to evolution? Where are you getting such an idea?
​
I'm getting it from you. Apparently god designed species to evolve to a certain point then stop evolving when they run out of diversity. That point has been reached by some but not by others. So your god apparently still has plans.
​
I'd guess a pair of marsupials. Nobody could possibly know, it's all educated guessing.
​
Well I agree that it's guessing.

You can't get a new species, or breed, without losing the genetic material for other traits. Can't, just can't.
​
Obviously you can. Brown mice get a black gene by mutation. Black gene is dominant brown is recessive. Gain in diversity.
