Again, I must say that you are not properly applying the term evolution. The term adaptation is a synonym of evolution. By your statements you are professing a belief in evolution. You’re trying to say since there are no fish-lizards or monkey-men then evolution doesn’t exist. Your statement in light of proper use of the definitions is absurd.

No, and no. Adaptation is not, was not and will not be the same as evolution. Evolution says all life started here as single cells, pond or sea scum if you will, and thereafter 'evolved', gaining in complexity and eventually filling the eart with a mind boggling variety of life forms.

Adaptation says that an existing life form can adapt, without changing WHAT IT IS. A fish is not going to adapt its way into a praying mantis. However, a fish can adapt to new er environment (Provided the change is not too extreme for the animal) and IT REMAINS A FISH.

Where did the existing life forms come from to do this adaptation? See Genesis.

your attempt to equate adaptation with evolution is not honest.
