Terry, once again this ambiguity is caused by our flawed definition of what
a "species" is.
Yes, there are changes within a species, it's called Microevolution or
Adaptation. But Macroevolution or Darwinian Evolution (changing from
species to another) is a discredited idea.
I contend that if you examine the DNA of the supposedly different species of
sea stars, you will find that they belong to the same species as far as
their DNA makeup is concerned. This is microevolution or adaptation in
action, not Darwinian Evolution.
We need to be specific and rigoruous. We can no longer afford to naively
say that every evolution we see is due to Darwinian Evolution process.

according to a study of Australian sea stars."
