You are talking about your specialty, but your are not talking evolution you are talking adaptation and mutations. You are simply mutating something into a specialized virus but it is not the same as changing into a whole new species.

I doubt you are purposely confusing the issue, but you are not proving evolution exists. There are plenty of good scientists that understand exactly what you are talking about and dismissing it as true transformation of species.

Um... "adaptation" is, as I have already explained, a synonym for evolution invented by "creationist" con-men to talk about evolution without actually saying the word. Mutations are changes in the DNA (or RNA in many viruses). Every new organism contains mutations in its genetic material that were not present in its parents. The accumulation of those mutations over generations is the process of evolution. A new species arises when a group splits off from the main population and each of the two groups accumulate a different set of mutations. Eventually, the two groups become too genetically different to interbreed, and are deemed separate species.

I doubt you are purposely confusing the issue, but you are not proving evolution exists. There are plenty of good scientists that understand exactly what you are talking about and dismissing it as true transformation of species.

The science is solid, but you choose to dismiss it for emotional reasons. I am not surprised that you reference "plenty of good scientists (who dismiss the evolutionary processes)" by linking to a "creation science" website. You cannot find real science at an agenda- and profit- driven junk science website. There are actually not life scientists who reject evolution--you can count so-called creationist scientists on one hand. If you want to find real science, you need to look at websites that real scientists use. The major legitimate medical science website is called PubMed (www.pubmed.org), and is a database that catalogs a majority of the peer-reviewed articles published world-wide.

The evidence for evolution, of course, is not limited to biology. It is found throughout the world and the visible universe. Scientists of all disciplines study it all the time--whether they look at a nebula out in space, the expansion of the universe, or study the geology of the earth, the evidence is ubiquitous.
