“Isn’t the correct term adaptation, not evolution?”

I don't know the scientific difference and think evolution is continual adaptation.

[ClearCase_guy]

The controversy over Evolution is centered around the idea that one species might evolve into a different species. Down that road, we would need to see a creature from one genus evolve into a different genus. One class evolve into a different class. These are monumental changes and nothing of the sort has ever been demonstrated.

When we see adaptation within a single species, we shrug and say, So What? This is not the same thing as saying everything started from a single-celled lifeform.

Adaptation is boring and proves nothing at all.

Well, I always thought that one pretty good definition of evolution was change in gene frequency. Speciation occurs when populations or sub-populations are isolated (genetically) from their sisters and brothers over a long period of time.

Thanks for posting...interesting.
