That's a facinating topic.
Its fantastic how much all species on this world are capable of adapting to their environment. If you call this evolution then I agree: Yes there is evolution.

If we talk about creation of new species or new attributes of living beeings than this is different. I just imagine what immense possibilities are 'built in' into the living beeings here on earth. There is the DNA with its numerous possibilities and there is something more around the DNA that triggers the different 'functions' of the DNA. So who can say that a 'new' species/attribute is really new?

Sometimes I try to think of a program that does something similar. It has a lot of features and is able to change them. Whatever triggers the change of the features I always end in a limited number of combinations. There will never be something new (something that was not defined in advance by me).

So I think that creation of new attributes/species is nothing a process of 'survival of the fittest' is able to provide.
