Evolution is described as the ability of a species to adapt over time to their environment.
Elephants in Africa are slowly adapting to poachers and are losing their trunks and therefore the tusks the poachers are after.
Fish in the Hudson River have adapted to be able to survive the polluted waters.
Cats dogs and other animals that were exposed to extreme radiation at the meltdown site in Russia are adapting and surviving the radiation. They're breeding radiation tolerant offspring.

Adaptation is not evolution.

Edited by nucleartestbunny: 3/17/2015 12:51:20 PMAdaptation by definition is evolution... By saying it isn't you are trying to redefine the term. It's like me saying savior doesn't mean savior it means antichrist and so jesus couldn't possibly the messiah.
-
Sorry but your wrong. 1. All living things change through time in order to survive in their environment. 2. Adaptation involves short-term changes to suit the habitat and environment. 3. Evolution is a long-term process wherein changes occur in the genetic level for a better functioning and survival as a race.
-
Small adaptations lead to larger adaptations over time. Your post actually demonstrates your naivity on this subject. Just going to point out if it weren't for evolution you would be a perfect clone of your parent.
-
Just admit you're wrong. Doesnt mean you have nothing to contribute. Just means you failed at being a troll.
-
I'm not wrong your post demonstrates that you really don't understand evolutionary theory. But that's to be expected when you are learning it from people who have a vested interest in disproving it. They tend to misrepresent to accomplish their own aims. It's the old straw man routine. Build an argument for your opposition even though it has no actual correlation to reality just so you can tear it down. That's what you are basing your opinions on not what proponents of evolution are actually saying.
-
Where did you get all that. Its simple, adaptation is not evolution. Every scientist knows this. You can argue all you want and try to make me out to be ignorant and try to change the subject but the fact remains, you are wrong. Admit it kid, you are wrong. Its okay. I know you think your special but your just wrong.
-
Really, because I'm a scientist. I have an A.S. In biology and am currently working towards my bachelors at UIC. All of my colleagues and I agree. Adaptation is a function of evolution. It works through the process of natural selection, and evolution is, most definitely observable, and also is applicable in many, many, fields of study, which is far more then creationism could claim. Also contrary to what you may think I am not an atheist and many of my colleagues are also not atheists so I can promise you we aren't teaching evolution because we have something against God. Now go bang rocks together or whatever it is you creationists do for fun.
-
Haha. Nice try. Like your on the cutting edge of evolutionary science. An A.S. means shit. Is this what you and the other STUDENTS ponder about? I would hardly consider students conjecture as viable science. In short, you're still wrong. Respond when get your BA. Lol!!
-
Obviously I know far more about it then you do. But really it's not worth my time when I'm dealing with someone as willfully stupid as yourself. That's right you are stupid because you choose to be. I'll just take comfort in knowing that no one will ever take you seriously. Hopefully you become a preacher or something equally useless to society. It's obvious you have nothing legitimate to contribute to this conversation though because if you did you would've already said it. You have nothing though and since you really don't have a clue what you are talking about your best bet is just to shut up. That being said kill yourself it's the right thing for you to do.
-
Haha. Dont be a sore loser. Its okay to be wrong. Just dont defend it. Grow a pair and admit it. It'll be your first step in becoming an adult.
-
Sore loser? I haven't lost anything... You however are the losing. Otherwise there wouldn't be a 99.97% consensus in the scientific community in regards to the factual basis for evolution. You are just making yourself look stupid.
-
What are you talking about loser? I never disputed evolution. I dispute that adaptation is evolution because it isnt. 2 seperate things. Not saying they arent related and one is not a precursor to the other. Just saying they are not the same. You proved that in your half baked responses. You sir are a -blam!-ing idiot.
-
Without natural selection, there is no need for adaptation without adaptation there is no evolution. Adaptation is a part of evolution. Therefore if you accept that there is adaptation you accept that there is evolution. By definition Biological evolution: simply put, is descent with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations). So yes it encompasses even minor adaptations. You are a a moron and you have no clue what it is you are talking about. You make think you are troll but you honestly really suck at it.
-
You're wrong. Dude, face it. Stop doing mental gymnastics. I know your ego is bruised but you'll be okay little baby.
-
You really suck at this whole trolling thing... The fact you'd even try shows how beneath me you are scrub. I mean come on, you haven't even attempted to make a decent argument you rampant dildo farmer. It's too obvious, you completely lack the subtlety required for this endeavor of yours. It's good to know that you are retarded enough to even try.
-
Sorry, i dont associate with losers. Especially losers that lose.
-
So much self hate brah... Just accept the fact that you are loser and move on... Retire to your dildo farm live a quite life.
-
You're obsessed with dildo's. Hmmm. I see gay conversion therapy in your future. In the mean time you can suck my cock. Run along gay troll. Go be a gay loser that loses.
-
No I won't suck your cock because I'm not gay... But that does explain your dildo farm... Do you proposition men in online forums often? I'm getting a sense that this is a regular occurrence for you... There are far better and safer ways to satisfy your insatiable desire for cock then Internet forums. I can see why you chose to go gay though you are obviously such a loser no woman would touch you... You obviously aren't gay by choice but because that's your only option.

Adaptations are what individual organisms have, like longer beaks, darker fur, lighter skin, better oxygen carrying capacity, etc. Evolution is the change in a population over time.
-
In order for the species to evolve the individuals have to adapt. Once they propagate those adaptations to their spawn the species has evolved.
-
Sigh ..... Dog chasing its tail.
