''One of the important things that will need to be found to prove evolution is, two living creatures that are almost exactly the same, one of which has a mutation within it, to make it slightly better than the other one''
''Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered the mechanism by which an extremely rare protein mutation shields people from cardiovascular disease''
They discovered that some Humans have a mechanism that shields them from cardiovascular disease thanks to a protein mutation
Pack it up boys, we proved evolution to badecker! At least ''one important thing'' that he thought didn't exist. We won!
What they haven't proven - even if this is the absolute, straight-forward truth - is that the mutations involved have anything to do with evolution rather than adaptation. Adaptation exists all over the place. But evolution has not been proven, yet.
However, I thank you for showing us all that you agree that I am an authority on evolution.
Evolution is a hoax.
I don't think you even understand what adaption is. You can call a mutation adaption if you want but in the end as the ''mutation or adaption'' is passed down from one generation to the next. As more and more organisms inherit the mutation, the mutation becomes a typical part of the species, what you might call EVOLUTION!! HURRAY!
Then you have speciation, which is a very wide term but this video might help you: it's good even for kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmtIofdeUbc&feature=youtu.be
I don't think you really know what adaption is. Adaption has to do with social changes, and how people, particularly children, learn to integrate changing customs/traditions into their social lives.
Adaptation has to do with natural selection, which nobody knows the underlying workings of... how cause and effect program change into something at a level and complexity we can't comprehend.
Scientists are kinda smart. But they seem to be unwilling to accept that, if evolution exists, the selections made by nature are infinitely smarter than they are. After all, we see nature making complex life and reproduction in ways we can only dream of, because we can't do it at all. This means that we don't really understand what natural selection is, but only that it exists and produces certain kinds of things/results.
Since we don't really know how natural selection works or what it is made up of, we can't really understand that there is any evolution for-a-fact.
Evolution is a hoax.
