Re:Genes and natural selection. (Score 1)

It would appear that many people are confused of what "genetic evolution" actually is. Everything that has been posted thus far, including the initial article, is a better description of "adaptation" instead of the theory of evolution. If you research the history of evolution, you read about ideas that have themselves "evolved" to try to avoid being dismissed as absolute absurdity. I always find it humorous when there is a newly evolved gene of some sort which causes a hype amongst "scientifically" minded people of society. A month later there is a follow-up which shows that researches have found that the "evolved" gene was actually already present within the organism, only it was not until the right circumstances that it made itself known. I know a lot of people would still call this evolution, but it is simply adaptation.
