What you religious zealots love to do is take an adaptation, ignore the fact that the organism reverts back when the need for the adaptation is no longer there, then somehow without any evidence what-so-ever, produce a story of how the unobservable and mythological "billions of years" (where faith comes in) changed it to a much higher life form with no ability to repeat said story.

"No, 'evolution' is a real scientific term"

So is "Equus monoclonius". The e. coli experiment is an example of micro evolution or more commonly called adaptation or mutation, it does not prove dinosaur to bird nor "billions of years" - that is religious belief. The bacteria even after 60,000 generations, is still bacteria not an elephant.

Just like the straw man approach, show people adaptation or artificially stimulated mutation, then sell them the whole "common ancestor" religion. When you say evolution it encompasses the whole religion, billions of years and all.
