It looks like there was some intelligence going on. But evolution is
blind, deaf, and dumb. How did it know how to keep species from
crossbreading out of existence?

The sun 'rises' each morning. Is that testable? Yes, get up early and
look out your window. It is a similar thing with breeding barriors
between species. If you try to breed a dog and a cat, it always shows
a failure. So it is testable.

If something is blind, deaf, dumb, and is not alive, You are working
primarily on random chance. 

One thing evolutionists say is to look at mutations. That is alledly
how new species are formed. But the record for mutations is crystal
clear. Most are negative and the life form dies earlier than normal. 
So it's like taking one step forward, and two steps backward. We
shouldn't have all the species we have if brainless evolution was at
work.

Such things are not a matter of belief, but of reality. What's there
is there.

Since when does something brainless produce a complicated DNA
structure?

The lower and higher is based on believers in evolution. Are you not
'higher' than an ant? Higher than an ape? At any rate, they are what
they are.

I don't. My error. I should have said a lion with a tiger.

I don't have any misconceptions of the Bible. The cat and lion thing
is an error. Sometimes I type things out for further  examinations. I
forgot to delete that thing.
