It's not the same, actually. Selective breeding is an excellent explanation for vast species variation and even variation up to the family level (bison and cow, for example). It also makes sense to explain how you get a 100 million year old dog looking thing and a modern dog. Essentially, it's a part of evolution. On the other hand, it doesn't necessarily explain how one gets from marine invertebrate to modern dog (it can, but there are other ideas in evolution- for example, a massive jump caused by a survivable genetic mutation). To believe that selective breeding does occur but that repeated major genetic mutations don't isn't really a contradiction in terms.

Rather sweet of you, Josh.
