even to new species, that they must change orders and families too. No facts support this stance.
Well, that's not true. We've observed evolutionary change resulting in different orders.

It's not like proving the theory of relativity by calculating where a heavenly body should be at a given point in time according to relativity calculations, and then that heavenly body shows up right at the predicted time--which I heard was done. It's not that type of evidence.
So, biology has bigger error bars. Does that make it illegitimate? Anyway, physics isn't really science.
