Logicboy03:I don't want to say you don't have enough sense to distinguish between adaptation and what evolution claims. The pathogens adapt new forms of resistance to the former drugs. How does this relate to the pathogens becoming entirely new different kinds of organisms? Nawa for you. Smh. 1 Like |

Joshthefirst: I don't want to say you don't have enough sense to distinguish between adaptation and what evolution claims. Stop reading about evolution from christian creationist websites. Adaptation is part of evolution....did you not learn that basic fact? An adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, in biology is a trait with a current functional role in the life history of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation. Adaptations contribute to the fitness and survival of individuals. Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop and are equipped with an adaptive plasticity as the phenotype of traits develop in response to the imposed conditions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation 4 Likes |

Logicboy03:what are you saying? Adaptation leads to evolution? Smh. This is a quote from the heading of the link you gave me: This article is about the evolutionary process. For other uses, see Adaptation (disambiguation). Here's the real link that contains the biological definition of adaptation: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(disambiguation) And here's the definition from the link: In Biology, adaptation is the process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat. Adaptation does not lead to a production of a new kind of organism over a period of time. That Is unscientific and is mere speculation. Adaptation just makes an organism better suited to its environment. Birds will remain birds, apes will remain apes. Humans will remain human. Stop spreading falsehood. Embrace truth. Stop trying to remove the place of God's supremacy in thought and imagination. Look at what it has turned you into and made you do. 1 Like |

Joshthefirst: what are you saying? Adaptation leads to evolution? Smh. Do you mind not using the term 'kind' in this discussion? I think the use of less ambiguous terms like "species, genus, family" etc will make things clearer... |

Joshthefirst: what are you saying? Adaptation leads to evolution? Smh. This guy There are mechanisms and processes in evolution. Adaptation is just one of them. Look, you want to be ignorant, fine. I am not going to be your biology teacher 1 Like |

Logicboy03:I know enough of evolution. I'm saying that its just speculation of men and it does not have any shred of evidence. Simple. Adaptation is adaptation. Your 'mechanisms and processes' are unscientific. Someone saw adaptation in birds and concluded that birds can keep adapting until they change into other forms altogether. Smh. Darwins finches are still birds. Birds are birds. There is no observed and tested change of kind. 1 Like |

Reyginus: Lol. I see what you are trying to do but I will not allow it. You're the one that thinks its highly flawed. The evidence supporting evolution is everywhere. I was talking about the origin of matter. In order to be certain, you have to go back to the time before matter existed i.e, b4 big bang! |

Joshthefirst: please state one evidence supporting evolution clearly and precisely. If you cannot, you ought to be ashamed for spreading false news to decieve gullible minds. There's no point. Since you even dismissed the relevance of adaptation to evolution. Its like asking someone to explain chemical reactions without mentioning electrons! |

mazaje: Some one once said. . ."All religions were created out of the fear of the many and the cleverness of a few". . .Actually, they weren’t. The religions may have FED on the cleverness of a few but the start of religion – the personal or organized effort to comprehend, propitiate and commune with supernatural beings – started out of more honest feelings and cravings, even if ignorant and superstitious. How is you doing, mazaje? |
