Adaptation is not evolution.

Okay, now I know I'm arguing with a grade schooler. Adaptation is evolution. Mutation, genetic selection, sexual selection, natural selection, whatnot, are mechanisms of evolution.

Learn a little science and get back to me.

I see the A-Team from Darwin Central has showed up for damage control. God forbid someone question their pet theory(s)!; If ya do - they'll insult you to death. I've seen it before: one troll shows up, then the insult-bot, then the others. One wonders how long it will be before this thread gets sent to the smokey backroom.

No adaptation is not evolution. I'm sorry; but, men adapt their surroundings as needed and themselves as needed within builtin biological norms. If they cannot adapt based on their current biology, they move to where their body's can take the environ. That's called using one's brain. Men decided they needed to fly and had tried for centuries to get it done - they didn't sprout wings as evolution would have us believe might have happened for flying squirrels if they waited long enough, nor have men developed huge bits of skin between their arms and legs that they can fan out to glide with when needed. Nor have men who have been diving the depths in coastal waters for generation after generation for thousands of years either developed gills or scales. Yes, I'm aware of the arguments evolutionists make when talking out both sides of their mouths. But where we'd expect to see it, it is considered absurd because it is the most valid argument for it and it isn't happening. Evolution is a shell game to sell snake oil in place of hard science. Sorry. Wrap your foil tighter.
