Default Are they a new species?

Dog breeders can selectively mate their animals so that eventually the
descendants have shorter legs or longer hair than their forebears.
However, the changes dog breeders can produce often result from losses
in gene function. For example, the dachshund’s small size is caused by a
failure of normal development of cartilage, resulting in dwarfism.

While the word “species” is used frequently, it should be noted that
this term is not found in the Bible book of Genesis, which uses the much
more inclusive term “kind.” Often, what scientists choose to call the
evolution of a new species is simply a matter of variation within a
“kind,” as the word is used in the Genesis account.

What about when you breed two populations apart for so long that they
can no longer produce viable offspring together? Will Jesus use his
magic to reset their DNA or something?

One fine day in alt.atheism, ZilentKnight
bloodied us up with this:

Dog breeders can selectively mate their animals so that eventually the
descendants have shorter legs or longer hair than their forebears.
However, the changes dog breeders can produce often result from losses
in gene function. For example, the dachshund’s small size is caused by a
failure of normal development of cartilage, resulting in dwarfism.

Genesis is a crock of **** written by incredulous and science-challenged
zealots, and has no bearing upon reality.

That's because they were ignorant, pre-scientific goat herders.
