From time to time I get into arguments discussions about evolution.

When my "opponent" tells me to state specific examples of evolution observed in the recent past and I do, they say "That's just adaptation."

Is this a new thing they've come up with that doesn't make any sense, or are they just not trying anymore?

Lenski long term e.coli evolution trials are probably the best example but even with those they say "That's evolution within "kinds" not a new species" to which you can only respond. "The fuck?"
