Are you suggesting that the whole of Darwin's research is contained in one group of finches? If "god" can change covenants, surely animals can evolve as well?

I hope you are not basing your reasoning for animals evolving on if "god" can change covenants. He did not change covenants. He did what He told the people He was going to do from the beginning through prophets. After the fall, sacrifices had to be made. It had to be the best of what you had - which was the best ram, sheep, or fatted calf. It could not be the worst that you picked out, or there was consequences. God, through his love and mercy, sent Word through His prophets that one day that would no longer have to be. Then He sent His own Son, from which He conceived with woman, according to Scripture. So that when He was sacrificed, it would take the place of the old way. He would be merciful and loving in that He would give up His own life instead of your best. He would link a way for mankind to get back to Him simply by having the faith of a small child. But He also warned that the proud and "wise" of this world would not accept that. So He did not change covenants. He makes things new and holds to His promises as He said He would.

Animals can evolve, or adapt to their surroundings by detailed features that will help them survive. However, a monkey will never turn into a human, nor an elephant a whale. It's not how they were made.
