Because they are different species.

Some species are related close enough to breed, such as a lion
and a tiger.  Yes, that is a hybrid -- but a cat and a dog are
too far apart in their genetic lineage.

That isn't testable, so is outside the realm of science.  But
go on...

It's not "random chance", but natural selection, that drives a lot
of evolution.

Do you _not_ believe in artificial selection, such as the breeding
of sows to be around 200 lbs, vs. what they used to be, around 1000 lbs?

And so forth -- natural selection doesn't work by human agency, but
by factors such as environment.

Since your predicate is mistaken, your conclusion does not logically
follow.

Species aren't "lower" or "higher", they are just "different".

Why would you think a house cat could breed with a lion?

House cat: Felis catus
Lion: Panthera leo
Tiger: Panthera tigris

Lions and tigers can breed -- but house cats are right out,
they aren't even the same genus.

According to the Bible, "God's word" -- _Logos_ -- is Jesus.
(John 1:1).

According to Heraclitus, _Logos_ is "the divine order".

Whoever wrote the fourth Gospel wanted to sound very Hellenic,
so tried to usurp a definition that had been in use for 5 centuries
before.

Anyway, I just wanted to address your misconceptions.  Carry on.
