Are all thee animals that exist today the same as the animals that existed millions of years ago. Yes or no.
 
The first creatures of their kind yes. That doesn’t mean that they were not born.

They were selective bred. They are still dogs.

The definition of a different species is when they cannot interbreed. A chihuahua and a mastif cannot interbreed. Therefore they could just as well be called different species. If all we had was fossils of chihuahuas and mastifs we would certainly call them difference species. It is only our knowledge of their lineage that has prevented that particular classification.

In the natural way. Does that sound fantastic? Surreal? Too far out? OK, then I have an alternative for you. A bunch of sand and clay and mud whirled around and coalesced into the shape of a man, became blood vessels, muscles, bones, skin, blood, nerves, etc. That is so much more believable, eh?

A couple of questions:
How does non-human parents producing a human offspring fit into your theory of evolution?

Do you believe that bread and wine (inanimate matter) are instantly transformed in the body and blood of Christ (living matter) during Mass? If so, you shouldn’t have any trouble believing that God can instantly transform clay (inanimate matter) into a human being (living matter).
 
Uhhhh - the dark ages are called dark because we do not have much info about them.
 
It has been proven that the earth really is at the centre of the universe. An earlier post pointed this out.
 
First, they said Adam and Eve existed but were separated by hundred thousands of years. Next they said Adam and Eve were contemporaries but didn’t know each other. Next??? The lived in the same village and knew each other? hmmmmmm.
 
They could interbreed but now they can’t? That is loss of function.

You are wrong. Evolution is behind the theory of multiple-drug therapy. A virus or bacterium can evolve immunity to a single drug; it is far less likely to evolve immunity to a cocktail of drugs simultaneously.

Your Darwinist word-games don’t fool me. The medical science you mention is not the slightest bit dependant on the theory that all life on earth evolved from a microbe. Such medical therapies rely on facts, not useless stories about what transpired millions of years ago.
 
Humani Generis -

"36. For these reasons the Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter - for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God. However, this must be done in such a way that the reasons for both opinions, that is, those favorable and those unfavorable to evolution, be weighed and judged with the necessary seriousness, moderation and measure, and provided that all are prepared to submit to the judgment of the Church, to whom Christ has given the mission of interpreting authentically the Sacred Scriptures and of defending the dogmas of faith.[11] Some however, rashly transgress this liberty of discussion, when they act as if the origin of the human body from pre-existing and living matter were already completely certain and proved by the facts which have been discovered up to now and by reasoning on those facts, and as if there were nothing in the sources of divine revelation which demands the greatest moderation and caution in this question.

“37. When, however, there is question of another conjectural opinion, namely polygenism, the children of the Church by no means enjoy such liberty. For the faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains that either after Adam there existed on this earth true men who did not take their origin through natural generation from him as from the first parent of all, or that Adam represents a certain number of first parents. Now it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled with that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the Teaching Authority of the Church propose with regard to original sin, which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam and which, through generation, is passed on to all and is in everyone as his own.[12]”
 
But a million years of dog-breeding can produce a non-dog … according to the fairy tale.
 
Incorrect. They were special creations with certain God-given gifts:
Code: 
impassibility (freedom from pain)
immortality (freedom from death)
integrity (freedom from concupiscence, or disordered
desires)
infused knowledge (freedom from ignorance in matters
essential for happiness)

in an interview with Ben Stein, Dawkins seriously suggested that life on earth could have been seeded by aliens.

He’s not alone. Many “scientists” subscribe to that story. Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the double helix, in his book Life Itself: Its Origins and Nature hypothesized that life originated on earth when primitive spores were sent to earth by a higher civilization.

There’s no rational material explanation for the existence of life on earth, athough some homage is paid to the idea of a primordial soup. For life to have appeared, there has to be something external to the fundamental forces at work - a causal agent other than random atomic attraction and binding.
 
This is true. Bacteria and viruses have the built-in ability to modify themselves. For bacteria, Horizontal Gene Transfer occurs and when the right combination is hit upon, those bacteria are now resistant to a harmful substance. Viruses can change their outer coat, resulting in different strains of the same virus. Drug discovery is still a trial and error process with nothing from evolution to guide it.
