You're not talking about evolution. Like whatshisname (sorry, I'm too lazy to scroll up) said, you're talking about spontaneous biogenesis. They are two different things. Don't talk about them both at the same time. The Theory of Evolution doesn't have any bearing on that.

So, you believe that species can change over time, but that there exists some arbitrary line that prevents them from changing too much? Isn't that...arbitrary?
