The point is, we can't observe theories. Theories work at explaining processes
we do observe. And they aren't absolute - we can still use Newton to explain
the path of a baseball, even though Einstein has superseded Newton for some more
precise needs. We do see that speciation exists. We can explain our
observation as a miracle - and we can explain gravity as a miracle. The Bible
doesn't discuss speciation, and Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 have enough conflicts
that it's obvious that the lessons we should learn from them are deeper than to
assume we know everything about creation, God, nor the universe.
