There's one thing about evolutionary theory that bugs me. I just don't see how it could work. I will attempt to compose my question in this thread.
Here's the deal. Evolution states that it takes a long time for an organism to adapt and change, when introduced into a new environment. I don't get it. How come the organisms don't die?
Here's an example. Send an organism that could not survive in Mars to Mars. Now what? Even if you send a gazillion of them to Mars, they would simply ALL DIE! Even if one or two would have a very little difference that could make them survive for a little while, how would the adapt fast enough to reproduce and survive in the planet?
Here's another scenario. An environment suddenly changes. How can the organisms survive if they adpat so slowly.
The point is.... why does evolution state that it takes millions of years for an organism to adapt to an environment which doesn't allow the survival of such organism in the first place!? Wouldn't it be more logical to assume that such adaptations would occur at a faster rate? :shrug:
