There's even an epidemic in the fishing industry where-in due to the decades of letting the "little one go" (As in throwing away small fish but eating the big ones), the majority of fish that produce offsprings have the 'tiny trait' which causes all future generations to become small.

So as we continue letting the "little one go", we're reducing the size of all potential fish in the future.

Debates on the internet always tend to end sour, as my experiences with them have told me.

Thing is, adaptation and evolution aren't really different. The only difference is how large of a group it affects. An adaptive trait affects a relatively small group or a single individual. Such as when a hare sheds its white fur for a brown one when the seasons transition from winter to summer.

Evolutionary trait affects an entire populace, an entire species, an entire genus. It is an adaptation that occurs on a larger basis.

Now, I have to ask, do you KNOW what evolution, in its most basic form, is? Because you state that Natural Selection, adaptation, genetic mutation etc. all have been proven to occur yet you state evolution is a hypothesis.

The thing is, that's where the THEORY comes in. You might not agree that some PARTS of evolution occur, but evolution is fact. Natural selection is part of evolution. Genetic mutation is part of evolution. Adaptation is part of evolution. These are all a part of evolution.

You might not agree that genetic drifting or mutation by UV ray could occur, but that doesn't mean you should think evolution as a whole is false.

And, you're assuming that I didn't know what the distinction between a Scientific theory and the literary theory is.

Evolution has been tested multiple times on generations and generations of bacterial cultures, fungal growth, Paramecium and even larger test subjects such as Salamanders and Toads.

I don't want to have to keep repeating what I've said, so just read and research what I've mentioned. Look up the Salamander Ring Colonies, read about them.

Evolution was a theory, in the literary sense, much, MUCH before Darwin's time. We just didn't know how or why it occurred. Darwin was one of the first to hypothesis one of the methods. From there, we've found a bunch of other ways through which organisms evolve adding onto the Scientific Theory of Evolution.

I don't know why you keep saying Evolution is just a hypothesis when you state natural selection and adaptation and such as being proven facts.

Evolution in its most basic form is just the change in inherited traits, features and characteristics in a population over successive generations. This has been observed so many times and has even been used by us humans such as in dog breeding, food production, wool production etc.

How do you think we've maintained some of the oldest species of dogs that should've died out due to mixed breeding?
