Hope you are well. I haven't been making videos lately. Been busy but hope you are well.

Thanks. I've gone into kidney failure a couple of times and had a small heart attack. I will try to make a new post soon.

Only other meaning of adaptation i could see is that it means that an organism during its lifetime adapts to its enviroment...

Or as the other wierd example.. that girraffes stretch their necks to get to leaves.. so their children also gets long necks.. Wish just isnt the way geneology works..

[rkzenrage]

Yeah, I read Richard use that example... it is an apt one.

[FurieMan]

Ive looked in to adaptation (wikipedia).. and I dont know why adaptation isnt just another word for evolution.. it follows the same proccess.. no?

[rkzenrage]

They are similar and often interconnected, but are not always the same thing.

Adaptation is far more short-term/immediate than evolution which takes many, many, many generations.

[TXatheist]

Sorry to hear that man.  Get well soon.

Hey man, hope you're still well. Just found you on here and started watching. Great talks, I like what I hear. I like that kick-ass lighter of yours too.

As for the evolution/adaptation thing, I heard it put a great way somewhere. I think it was Dawkins. He said adaptation is like the smaller steps leading to evolution. So how can someone walk a mile without taking any steps? Neat, huh?

You kick a fine ass, sir. Keep it up!

Lables are certainly overated. They often cause enough bais to cause an individual to stop listening all together. What a shame. Great thoughts as usual.

When hear the terms "Adaptation" and "evolution", I think how many people spin that to fit that into some agenda. In the retail industry, both are use to manipulate the public into believe "have-it-now" mentallity, which become passe as something new come around, like the iPhone. I know this

sounds like rubbish, but the thinking is all the same. What people are trying to sell is you "got to have it", not whether it work for your life. Thinking for onesself is the "evolution" of mankind
