It's not the same thing. I really don't think a lot of people who argue evolution really understand it because they'll use adaptation to argue evolution. They are not same. If I walk around barefoot my feet will start to look like a hobbit's to protect themselves and after a few generations my family may develop sturdier feet. That is adaptation. A booger changing into a elephant is not adaptation it's completely changing everything about a creature. That seems a little farfetched to me. People assume because a little change can be made that means that a species can change from one to the other. IDK about that.
Evolution is literally adaptation through genetic mutation. The same thing you witness over millions of years and constant reproduction.

And if you wanna get technical there is microevolution which is proven to exist (such as bacteria becoming resistant to vaccines) and macro-evolution which takes place over a huge period of time.

If you want magic maybe turn to religion or something. A booger changing into an elephant can't be the example you give if you gonna tell other people they don't understand evolution

Yep. They're essentially believing in just micro evolution and not macro evolution.

It doesn't really make sense to believe in "adaptation" and not evolution.

To be fair and to argue in your defense scientist and our teachers/elders don't do a very good job of explaining this sh1t to us and unless you have a degree in biology or anthropology then the majority of humans aren't aware or most of this sh1t..


Ask urself, what more easier to comprehend and understand? The Book of Genesis


Or this chart? (You can't really blame ppl for leaning towards the more simplified explaination)


And this chart itself is a gross simplification itself and doesn't tell the whole story. We (not me, but scientist and ppl smarter than you and I) have to do a better job at educating the masses. I'm not perverse enough to deny evolution like most of you but I can admit that I wish I knew more. And honestly there just may be too much to know. So we should have empathy for those who rather gravitate towards creation myths because although incorrect, they're much easier to comprehend.

shyt is fascinating, I've thought about going to school to become a Biologist but that seems like a bad idea.

Tbf you also have to blame religious apologetics for the spread of misinformation. Just look at the b*stardization of nomenclature in this thread. People are acting like adaptation vs evolution is an actual point of contention. When a religious view point is made null they simply annex the scientific one and make it fit their narrative. Everything is out there...but very few people care to venture out their echo chamber or actually challenge their own ideas of the world.

Just because I can jump 100 inches doesn't mean I can just 100 yards. I feel the same way about evolution. Ya'll want to use small examples to justify a huge change. Believe what you want I don't need that smart mouth lip today. My stance doesn't change no matter how rude you are about it.

@BlackPearl The Empress you are on the correct track here. DNA is the building blocks of life, you are made up of half the genes and DNA you receive from your parents, those genes make you.

Now what you said is correct about adaptation, adaptation is correct but what evolutionists try to make us believe is that adaptation can lead to whole new species, this is a lie. For one species to change to another its entire genetic make up has to change, its DNA would have to change, its entire genetic sequence would have to be rearranged, the number of chromosomes it has would have to change. That is Impossible. DNA makes evolution impossible Evolutionists will have you believe that if whenever a cat gave birth to kittens and you immediately chopped off its legs, and you continued to do that for generations and generations eventually cats will start giving birth to kittens with no legs, that is a lie because the kittens get their DNA and genetic make-up from their parents and the DNA of their parents code to make legs, so they will ALWAYS make legs. A fish no matter how many generations you give it and no matter what happens to it during life will never 'evolve' into a mammal because its genetic code means the genes passed down assure the offspring will always be the same as the parents, a fish. The DNA it receives from its parents will always code to make a fish. Its no coincidence that if you breed animals of different species a point is reached where the offspring is sterile.

I gave people a clue to follow when I posted this......

Charles Darwin published the Origin of species by means of natural selection, where he laid out his theory of Evolution in November, 1859.

Francis Crick and James Watson finally pieced together the structure of DNA, the building blocks of life in 1953.....

Funny how people sat in classes and were told this but it went over their heads. Ask yourself in any discussion on evolution has anyone ever explained how it works in relation to your DNA, chromosomes and genetics? How evolution would also mean the make up of even some of the smallest cells in your body would also have to change? DNA makes evolution impossible. Charles Darwin didn't know about DNA and the workings of our genetics when he wrote the origin of species. If Watson and Crick came first, Charles Darwin would never have been.

Also I want you to peep something.......

'In science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature supported by facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena".

I want you to read what you just posted there again and again until you are 100% you fully comprehend those words then i want you to answer this one question.......

Does that make that comprehensive explanation SUPPORTED by facts gathered over time.....a fact? Or is it just simply, a comprehensive explanation.......

Notice how that post of mine has been completely ignored.......

I believe most scientific theories, but I’ll say this though. If evolution is true then why don’t monkeys still evolve? If that’s what humans are made from why don’t we see any kind of metamorphs? I don’t wanna hear it takes a long time foh world history has been around long enough in modern times to see some kind of significance

Animals have evolved in short periods of time

not sure if trolling or not

but you evolved from a microscopic sperm cell/egg to a baby over the course of 9 months (you didn't pop out of thin air)

whatever happens on a small scale tends to also happen on a large scale. (that's just the way nature works, chickens for example grow teeth and tails inside of their eggs but lose them before they hatch, its like a sped of version of their entire evolutionary history and their relations to dinosaurs, likewise we humans have a thick layer of furr in the womb that covers our entire bodies and grow a tail, both of which disappear by the time we're ready to be born)

Our individual lives are just a tiny piece of a the bigger picture

All the evidence points in the direction of evolution and nowhere else. The genetic evidence alone (never mind the fossil record) is enough for someone to be considered perverse for not accepting it.
