The truth about evolution.

You are correct simple adaptations is not enough to spirit evolution as evolution happens in leaps and bounds because of random outside influences mostly light which causes damage that when repaired is slightly different in the gene it's self.
If this mutation is found to be beneficial it will be seen in it's offspring. This leads to an endless amount of circumstances and situations that can lead to endless possibilities. This is the Affect light has on DNA

Genetics

And this is the affect DNA has on light.

This thread is a perfect example of how people are being dumbed down by using the internet as there only source of information.......

"Research" has been reduced to Google searches these days, or they will watch/post 3 minutes of a 5 minute YouTube video without checking sources at all.......And then are now self proclaimed experts on the topic at hand and ready for a "intelligent" discussion!!!!! LOL!!

It took Harte about 4 seconds to realize that the "source" for the Ops so called "truth about evolution" was non existent!! It came from a non verified source.......

You wanna learn about evolution???? Then get off the net, and go outside and start studying this thing called NATURE!

God wanted to keep his options open and make adjustments accordingly, evolution is the method God uses to create. Time, Light, and Chaos are his tools and DNA is the clay on which he sculpted humanity. Just to keep things well rounded.

Learning about evolution that way would take quite a bit of study and a lot of innovative thinking. Both of which would be redundant, as people have already done this.

So, read a book about evolution. There are some good ones out there - Steven J. Gould has written several non-academic books about it - start with "The Panda's Thumb" would be my recommendation.

Hi 762:
Congratulations on figuring this out.

TAKEN FROM Roles of Mutation and Selection in Speciation: From Hugo de Vries to the Modern Genomic Era | Genome Biology and Evolution | Oxford Academic
"mutation is crucial in speciation because reproductive barriers cannot be generated without mutations."

Mutations are harmful... see Chernobyl or Fukushima.

Mutations are evolution's engine.

Hi jcolanzi:
There are gigantic gaps.

Let's say I am in court and I claim that there was a big bang, flash of light, and a suit case with a million dollars magically appears in my room. They would not believe me. However, they do believe that everything came from nothing for no reason.

From the same paper:
In fact, recent studies of speciation suggest that this form of speciation is quite common in plants (Rieseberg 2001; Badaeva et al. 2007; Rieseberg and Willis 2007). Plant populations are usually sedentary and often reproduce asexually or by selfing. These reproductive systems enhance the chance of fixation of chromosomal rearrangements, and therefore, the speciation by this process should be reconsidered. This type of speciation by chromosomal rearrangements is also known to occur in yeasts and mammals (Delneri et al. 2003; Brown and O'Neill 2010) (table 1). Of course, de Vries (1901–1903) did not have any idea about chromosomal variation, but his study of morphological mutations stimulated other workers to study the chromosomal mutations and their importance in speciation. Unfortunately, this type of speciation is still underappreciated in the current literature.
"Chromosomal rearrangements" - genetic drift.
