Too many think evolve and adapt are the same. There is always a zero point for everything, we just don’t know what it is.

soycd: "Too many think evolve and adapt are the same. "

Biologically they are exactly the same, a fact evolution deniers like to pretend is otherwise.
The only difference is a matter of word definitions --by "adapt" we usually mean shorter term, smaller modifications, whereas "evolve" can also refer to longer term speciation.
But there's no difference in what actually happens in 1) descent with modifications and 2) natural selection.
