"First off, the reasoning that evolution is true because there are variations in dogs turning into wolves, coyotes, etc, is not evidence because it is actually variations within kinds, not bacteria evolving into fully intelligent human beings."
This is simply your own misunderstanding of what evolution is. Firstly, dogs did not "turn into" wolves, coyotes, etc. because wolves, coyotes, etc. ARE dogs. Modern dogs did not, and do not, evolve into wolves and coyotes, but modern dogs share a common ancestor with wolves and coyotes. Members of an ancient dog species would have gradually undergone small genetic changes that, over time, altered the physical and genetic makeup of the dogs, thus eventually forming what we would classify as a "new species" of dog, which end up including wolves, coyotes, and all other modern canine species. Traced back far enough, all living things will have a common ancestor, where an ancient species changed/branched off into, eventually, the species we have today, including us.
Secondly, bacteria did not morph directly into a human being, obviously. Ancient cellular life forms would have gradually evolved into a plethora of multicellular creatures over the course of 100s of millions of years. As multicellular life forms further evolved, they created new and more "complex" species, which continued all the way through the modern day. Humans did not evolve from bacteria, we evolved from an older primate hominid species.
As a visual, here's an interesting interactive evolutionary map where you can see a simplified tree showing how life changed over time, and you can even click any two species/groups and see what and how far back their common ancestor likely was: https://www.evogeneao.com/en/explore/tree-of-life-explorer
"It's circular reasoning because the definition of evolution changes between the first and second examples, resulting in an absurdity."
Firsly, that's not what circular reasoning means, but more importantly, they literally addressed the two types: "Biologists sometimes define two types of evolution based on scale: • Macroevolution, which refers to large-scale changes that occur over extended time periods, such as the formation of new species and groups. • Microevolution, which refers to small-scale changes that affect just one or a few genes and happen in populations over shorter timescales. Microevolution and macroevolution aren't really two different processes. They're the same process - evolution - occurring on different timescales."
