The "not one fact supporting evolution" comment (repeated in a subsequent post) spurred me to post some of the facts.

Organisms evolve. I think that is well established by observable science. However, the inherent ability of an organism to evolve is not explained by Darwinian Theory and there is no proof that the ability of a species to evolve "evolved" without direction.

Darwinian Evolutionary Theory is a legitimate hypothesis to explain the changes within the species. It does not, however, explain the species itself.

Nor proof otherwise. There are no proofs in natural sciences. Darwinian theory does not examine the question of where "the ability of an organism to evolve" came from. Darwin said Goddidit, most likely, at the end of "Origin of Species".

I haven't much of a clue as to what you are trying to say. Are you trying to talk about micro-evolution vs. macro-evolution? Or do you mean the existence of speciation in general? If the former, there's no such distinction in science, if you mean the latter, than I agree: Darwinian theory does not attempt to deal with where speciation comes from. It describes what happened once speciation was possible.

You have missed the point- adaptation is NOT evolution. Neither is mutation. And neither of these "prove" that evolution is a fact.
