Evolution versus adaptation?

In debates on this forum. creationists attempt to disprove evolution by suggesting that examples of the evolutionary process process that have been observed, such as Darwin's Finches, the peppered moth and antibiotic resistent bacteria are not evolution, but "adaptation".

I have frequently asked how this "adaptation" works and how it differs from evolution, but I never get an answer.

Could someone enlighten me, please?

    Because they have been indoctrinated by the extremist sects and cults to believe that God was not clever enough to use the big bang, evolution and science as his tools!

    Was their God so inept that his creatures have had to adapt then? Why have so many of his creatures ceased to exist - and before they try the false claims the vast majority of extinctions it is nothing to do with humans!

    Adaptation is realized, Evolution is fantasy

    Your problem is that Darwin himself based much of his evolution theory on Darwin's Finches and other areas that you would now argue against. Now, decades later you guys know better and you are still trying to push the narrative. The fossil record simply does not support billions or millions of years of evolution. So, in unscientific fashion you come up with new explanations like "punctuated equilibrium" to cope with the inadequacies. Its not that you don't get answers; you don't acknowledge the answers you get because it would make you come up with different questions to your theoretical ideas that lack evidence.

    Would someone please move this question to the SCIENCE category?

    Then, would someone please tell this poster this is a Q and A website, and not a "debate forum"?

    ===================

    @CalleyD "(Atheists want this moved, it embarrasses them)"

    This is the comment of a person who thinks "evolution is the foundation of atheism".

    That person would be a dolt, as there were atheists prior to the discovery of natural selection.

    This question has nothing at all to do with R & S.

    Asking a question on science to be moved to the science section is just as rational as asking for a question on English Royalty to be move to that category.

    What is truly cowardly and embarrassing, @CalleyD, is blocking other users from commenting on your Q's and A's, as you have done.

    finches evolve into finches

    moths evolve into moths

    bacteria evolve into bacteria

    when bacteria evolve into fish, then Atheism/Evolutionism is true

    (Atheists want this moved, it embarrasses them)

    Atheism/Evolutionism has everything to do with religion and blind faith

    lol

    first you said this is not a debate then you want to debate the impossibility of Evolution/Atheism
