why do athletes become better over long peroids of practice and are more suitable for the sport they were practicing for.

Also, if you only believe in adaptation, and not evolution, then when do people and other animals stop adapting.

I am a Christian and I think that evolution and adaption are very real. I do not believe how ever that we are from monkeys. God could have definitely used evolution and adaption as a part of creationism! There are scientific facts that prove it exists. But what I don't understand is that they think that we came from protien goo. Well, they tested it, and we don't. It didn't work. I think though that creationism, evolution, and adaption are all under the hand of God. Think about it. Even if you hate my answer. Think about it.

Sorry Cordell, but that's not evolution. Fitness or athletic skill acquired through practice cannot be passed onto offspring. Evolution only deals with inheritable characteristics.
Your argument does disprove the idea that living things never change. But to my knowledge, no Creationists are making that claim.

Adaption and Evolution are one in the same.Some creationists just like to say adaption instead of the evil word "evolution"...Evolution is a theory that has numerous FACTS to back it up,unlike creationist who just have the bible that was written 2000 years ago before Science...I don't understand what people cannot understand about evolution..I still believe in God,but I just give him more credit than just blowing into dust and POOF here you are..Use the brain your creator gave to you.

Adaptation is a response to changes keep in mind. Most animals and especially humans are capable of dealing with change. Adaptation is a proven law of nature.
Evolution however is only a theory, and one that is part of atheistic philosophy that is bent on destroying religion in all forms slowly but surely.
The only thing atheists are adapting for well is eternal punishment.

They came better, and don't evolute to Cheetah's For example. Evolution states: a creature changes totally to another creature with another characterisitics and the same skeleton features.. This means My Boss in the law firm was once a grasshopper and evolved to a maritime lawyer, My Father was an ape, and my future wife was a lizard.
This is impossible man, Fossils shown cockroaches 60 Million years ago.. they were born cockras and died so.. no cockroach evolved to be Bill Gates...
There's a chain in each speices, Cats, tigers, lions, Cheetah, no one evolved to the other.. apes, Champanzi, Baboons, all monkeys... Me, You, all other Users, still Humans, I'm very fast, Proud Muslimah is Smarter, Adea Arek is stronger.. but no one of us will evolve to another creature.

I wouldn't call that adaptation, I would call it fitness. Now if his descendants became gradually more athletic, that would be adaptation. If his kids and grandkids (ad nauseum) gradually adapted to the point where they were no longer homo sapiens then that would be evolution. Your argument is based on a false premise.

adaptation when referring to genetics is microevolution, which exists. It's just those with strong beneficial genetic strands having that pattern reporduced in the majority of their children, and so a species is slightly different.
and being an athlete doesn't change you genetics, only the shape and build of your body (pressure on bones, gain in muscle tissue). And, practice makes perfect (or atleast forms a habit).

One of the biggest contributors to improving athleticism and lifespan is better knowledge of nutrition and medicine in our society today.
Adaptation is real, as it has been empirically tested and proven. However, evolution is largely philosophy, theorizing and speculation, with little room for real testing and science.

Becoming better at sports has nothing to do with evolution. You get better at something if you practice it. Period. Your argument for evolution is a weak one.

actually people getting "fitter" as a result of physical exertion really has nothing to do with evolution, it's not even adaptation, you should pick a better example
