How does “adaptation” happen do you suppose? Is it through natural selection of genetic variation?
Adaptation through the natural selection of genetic variations is well supported. Some adaptation is certainly the result of artificial selection, aka breeding; albeit this probably represents a very small portion of the adaptation that can be observed or inferred. We may not know for certain if wolves and domesticated dogs became separate species first by natural selection or breeding. Perhaps it does not matter.
As far as the “theories of evolution” point you made, I think I need to ruminate on that a bit. I will admit after reviewing your summary of your collective posts, you have actually made a pretty good case for your use of terminology. But in bits and pieces it comes across as intentionally trying to talk over the head of whom (me, in this case) you are debating. But I will give it some serious consideration as well as do some further reading.
