More to the point, it’s a mistake to tell evolution what it can’t do. Instead, what you’ll find, is that
Among some species in some circumstances
you’re just wrong.
Whether the simulation occurs in your head, in a computer, or in a lab, reality has more richness than your simulation, and that’s true whether you’re a creationist or an evolutionary biologist.
Evolutionary biology is probably helpful in identifying evolutionary pressures and showing things that might happen because of them. Telling evolution what it can’t do is much more presumptuous. As Dirty Harry says: “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
