Now you're on to something although you don't realize it. Our knowledge of science doesn't know everything. Yet what you've done is assume evolution of elephants has something to do with genetics.

Did you notice how quickly you went there? Since you don't know, you shouldn't automatically toss out the standard answers. Because when you do that, you limit your possibilities.

Go look up the Ergonom 500 microscope.

They have video of live viruses changing into bacteria and fungi. It's not done genetically. OMG!! When the real evidence is looked at with technology that wasn't available when the genetic theory came about, it contradicts the entire genetic theory when it is applied to evolution.

PS. Cancer is not a genetic mutation either. But we'll save that for another time.

PPS. Please note that I did not make a religious argument in any manner. We're simply talking about biology.
