Adaptation has occurred. Speciation has not. Speciation is not observable, reproducible, or predictive. Therefore, it is not good science.

Speciation has been observed, both in the wild and in the laboratory.

Excellent input. Thank you. I will review and consider this.

It may be that my arguments need to be re-evaluated. Or it may be that my definitions are at fault again. For example, the hypothetical changes in a fish may technically lead to a new species of a fish. (Although I'm not admitting that until I review this information you've provided.) But for the theory of evolution to be true, a fish would have to evolve into something that is not a fish and is more complex than a fish. All by itself without intelligent intervention.

Such a change would have to be observable, reproducible, and predictive. Until it is, you are not talking about the scientific method.

Again, thanks for the input.
