Simple, there is tons of evidence for adaptations, yes but they still stay within the same species. Show me a new species from old maybe?
All this "micro evolution" is simple Epigenetics turning markers/sections on and off.
All nonsense. Dont confuse dormant genes with an adaptation they are not the same thing, that line of thought shows you dont fully understand the concepts used here.
Epigenetics is an activation of certain genes via environmental stimulus. For example autoimmune diseases and certain chronic diseases. Those genes are already in place and they are NOT an adaptation or microevolution as you are implying. What it means is you have the genetic data to express a change, the easiest example of this is puberty. When you reach a certain age the environment changes and your testes become active pumping testosterone into your bloodstream, that fact has not been evolved or adapted in any way but rather activated via a stimulus.
An adaptation is something like skin tone. People with darker skin are usually found in sunlight intense areas. So can this adaptation be noted in the genetics ? yes. Was it activated ? no it was present from birth. Therefore its a change on a genetic level providing improved living for the environment. Thats the definition of evolution, therefore they are the same thing. Using a synonym so disprove a concept is retarded. Adaptation in the sense you refering to is for fully formed creatures, you have adapted in many ways to live. If a paled skined person lives in a sun intense area they will pigment to protect themselves, thats an adaptation in the sense you talking, THAT is not evolution but a cellular response to the environment and that shade will not be passed on to your children. Its like saying if a muscle freak on steroids has a baby that baby will be naturally strong, no the body has adapted itself to maintain itself i.e homeostasis.
Now there is no such thing as "micro/macro-evolution". Evolution is evolution. Life is life. You were created from a master cell, ONE CELL made the trillions of cells you are made up from that work in harmony to allow you to read this post. The next thing you must ask is, can a cell evolve ? yes it can in the form of bacterial resistance. The actual genome changed and you see formation of new organelles and enzymes in the succeeding generations. For example efflux ion channels that excrete the antibiotics and formation of enzymes like beta-lactamase that inhibit beta-lactam antibiotics, things not seen in the previous "parent".
Then the next thing you think is "why dont humans evolve then?" , thats because one evolution on a grand scale is epically slow. Secondly humans do not follow darwinian law. There is very little or no evolutionary pressure on humans. We are not hunted, we dont need to be super fast or strong to hunt and survive and modern medicine keeps us alive so our gene pool is not purged hence we will not evolve in physical appearance. Though evolution on a grand scale is apparent in complex life as this article shows. We are part of this world and life is DNA and our DNA is similar to all life on the planet. So what happens to one life form can be extrapolated to us and thats the basis of how animal testing on pharmaceuticals work. They dont torture bunnies because they mean people they use bunnies because that bunny is 98% identical to you on a fundamental level
