I got down this far and suddenly I seem to see a major problem with what you are talking about.

And you and possibly the sources your are talking about seem to be changing the definition of evolution.

This is the definition that I am using. If you want to go on about something that isn't under this definition then you can do so, but don't talk about biological evolution when you are doing it.

To you it may be evolving and thats fine you just defined evolution different.

There you are wrong again. The genes ARE changing. That is the only way that the organism can change. It is just like installing a new program on your computer. It uses the same basic instructions, but does something different. In an organism the program (DNA) is constantly changing (mutating) for various reasons. Sometimes the changes are bad and the system crashes, sometimes they don't do anything, and sometimes they are a help. That is evolution in action.
