The same very harsh punishment can't be the "appropriate" punishment for
everyone. Or does god punish people just becase they belong to a certain tribe, city etc rather than on what this person has done in detail?

You're misunderstanding my question, but regardless the original point stands: evolution requires assumptions. You've contended that we'll prove evolution with the new groupings - but we haven't, and you're making a second assumption in order to jump over the first. It's not all too convincing.

I have not the slightest idea what you are talking about.
We have analyzed the "construction plan" of many species. When comparing those construction plans with each other one can identify the correlation between them. Based on this analysis one can group the species.
In further detail on many occasions scientists have already found out how by positive mutation, one gene can transform into another gene with different or enhanced functions.
If your point is that at some point one has to make assumptions, yes one has to make assumptions. But its a difference if you make some random assumptions because you like it that way, or if you make "assumptions" that are complying with good scientific practice and are not the result of some random guess but rather indicated by some damn good arguments.
To set everything assame, scientific rules or not, randomn guesses or not, and stir it around to deliver that comparision between the scientific theory of evolution on one side and creationism on the other, thats not a honest comparision.
