but species don't beget new species

We can measure the changes in DNA now.

All cells constantly mutate. Our activity creates specific forms of stress. Under this stress, cells less compatible with it die faster. If you persist in doing something, the stress applied to your body is always the same, and like certain terrain helps creatures develop certain traits, all cells in our body develop traits beneficial for our actions as well. This way, multicellular life forms can direct their evolution.

New species? There are people and animals with newly developed unique traits. Viruses and bacteria constantly drastically change themselves. The length and structure of DNA, the amount of Chromosomes change. What kind of specie would be new enough in your eyes?

The church accepts gays and trans, any popular madness, but evolution, nooo, better die. Why can't they just claim that evolution is the tool of God and continue doing their thing?

That last part is usually not true at all, those 3 things are literally their worst enemies. Actually they're starting to go backwards and even starting to say non-whites and women are inherently bad. That's not like them though so I suspect it's a reactionary thing.

Define they. All major versions of organized Christianity have been moving towards globalism for quite some time now, Russian Orthodoxy being the only exception.

They=most churches, especially in the US. It's gotten to the point where I think all they care about anymore is political slapfights and Puritan-American tradition.

If you say so.

I don't have the stats. I only hear about it when yet another religious organization bows down to political pressure.

That's the nature of organizations, what'd you expect?

What you are describing is microevolution, also known as variation outside of the theory of evolution.

There are limits in genetic variation. The expression of DNA varies. Traits can change within a certain degree. But they do not transcend set boundaries. We have no species which beget new species.

Churches should accept gays and trans, but not their sinful lifestyles, and they should not be giving positions of leadership if they live such lives.
