Re: What prevents evolution?

Oh yeah. As Magic pointed out, the conditions you stated aren't really necessary for evolution. Evolution occurs within species too... we don't necessarily have to talk about speciation to talk about evolution.
This appears to be a semantic problem though. I think when you say the "presupposed processes of natural evolution" you are talking about evolution giving rise to the diversity of species. Which your conditions are required for.

I don't argue the point of "evolution" in the most general sense, as it is too broad. It is the process of speciation that I note logical problems with.
