No. Because if you will look close at my OP, I use species in a restrictive sense and not in the broad sense that you wish to use it. The species I am referring to is cat, dog, horse, man, monkey, etc. -- not tiger, lion, leopard, panther, etc.
Chromosome Count Proves Evolution is Wrong
There is no scientific evidence that a species can change the number of chromosomes within the DNA. The chromosome count within each species is fixed. This is the reason a male from one species cannot mate successfully with a female of another species. Man could not evolve from a monkey. Each species is locked into its chromosome count that cannot change. If an animal developed an extra chromosome or lost a chromosome because of some deformity, it could not successfully mate. The defect could not be passed along to the next generation. Evolving a new species is scientifically impossible.
When did you get the privilige to announce that well established words are to have a new meaning? How can anyone have an informed and meaningful conversation on terms like that?
Nobody ever claimed Man could evolve from a monkey in the way you imply. They say instead that Man and monkeys share a common ancestor. Very different statement. And there are many intermediates in the ancestral lines of both Man and monkeys (modern ones) before you reach that common ancestor. Evolution does not happen in the way you object to it happening!
