What do they mean by “Evolution”?

Sometimes natural selection (or adaptation or variation) is often masqueraded as “Evolution.” Check this one out:

“Thus equipped to be alert to the bait-and-switch, a discerning reader can confidently peruse evolutionary reporting, teasing out the facts from the ‘evolution-speak’. Here’s another extract from National Geographic News as a sample ‘test’ (with our added emphasis as an aid):

“Sharon Strauss, a professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California at Davis, agrees that Langkilde presents solid evidence for rapid evolution in fence lizards. The pace of evolution, she noted, hinges on ‘how strong the selection is and whether or not there is any genetic variation in the population that allows adaptation.’ A genetic trait for twitching in adulthood is likely to have existed within the lizard population prior to the fire ant invasion, Strauss noted. In order to help species adapt to the changing environment, Langkilde said ‘we need to manage populations so that they have enough genetic diversity so that they can evolve.’”

“Enough genetic diversity”, i.e. pre-existent genetic diversity—the genetic diversity that exists because the Creator provided such inbuilt capacity for variety. This has enabled His creature kinds to fill the many-and-various ecological niches around the planet.”
