This is excellent, and I agree completely. Genetic variation falls under the rubric of God's command to "Be fruitful and multiply" in Genesis 1:28. This suggests that for that to happen, there needs to be built into all living things the ability to adapt to a changing environment, but without changing so much that one animal actually becomes another animal.
That Scripture in Romans that you quoted goes on to say:
"Professing to be wise [homo sapiens, man-wise], they became fools,
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man [humanism]--and birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things." vs. 22-23.
Along that line, note how the argument is being made here and elsewhere that the supposed ancestors of man are found, previous to ape genetic lines, to be "mice," and before that, reptile-like creeping things, according to Arneson.
The true purpose of this multiplied silliness is to deny the Creator His just due as the progenitor of the human race. What a waste of time, money, and energy, all to turn the truth into a lie.
How much better it is just to worship and serve the Creator, who is blessed forever.
Thank you for your superb clarification.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to: Descent with limited modification is NOT a new concept and I'm interested in where you got your information claiming that it is.
This following is from Answers In Genesis and please refer to the link below for more detailed information:
"Evolution, of the fish-to-philosopher type, requires that non-living chemicals organize themselves into a self-reproducing organism. All types of life are alleged to have descended, by natural, ongoing processes, from this ‘simple’ life form. For this to have worked, there must be some process which can generate the genetic information in living things today.
In contrast, creationists, starting from the Bible, believe that God created different kinds of organisms, which reproduced ‘after their kinds’ (Gen. 1:11–12, 21, 24–25). Each of these kinds was created with a vast amount of information. There was enough variety in the information in the original creatures so their descendants could adapt to a wide variety of environments."

I would only add that God also created variation for our pleasure of seeing even more examples of His visible attributes.
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."
