What stops the changes? For the changes to stop there has to be a mechanism to do the stopping.

You can't prove a negative like that, all you can say is that there's no indication that there is a limit or a mechanism to enforce that limit.

It's like saying 1+1=2, 1+1+1=3, but that if you add up enough numbers that eventually there's a limit where addition stops working. Prove to me there isn't a limit.

Remember each individual's genetic code is what it is, it doesn't know what other individuals' genetic code is.

If you have a printing press that prints a 10,000 page book, but the press is prone to errors every so often, Book A and Book B will each be different, and Book A and Book B have no way of knowing what the other books' text is.
