Evolution is not science, it's a worldview that fits a set of
religious beliefs and as such is really only a religious
precursor. Certainly not science.
And what of the fact that I can place selective pressure on bacteria in
a culture and get them to evolve a new trait, like, oh say, antibotic
resistance? And then I can publish how I did it, and then Bob, who is
1000 miles away, can replicate it exactly, without us ever having met or
spoken?
Adaptation represents a loss of genetic information, not a gain.
Evolution represents a systemic gain of information, since we move
from lower completity to higher complexity over great spans of time.
From virus to single cells to multi-cells, etc.
We can breed out sensitivity to a particular antibiotic, but we aren't
creating a new organism. We still have the same kind of bacterium,
although it's adaptation may look like a different 'color'.
We've been breeding dogs for centuries and selecting for various
traits. We still only have dogs.
Best regards... Tim
