That adaptation has a goal or is a response by organisms to environmental challenges, at all.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you believe in evolution, you want to go around killing weak members of the human race.

Yes, that's such a widespred and annoying misconcepion it should be #1, but not only pertaining to humans as the goal. Way too often evolution in general is thought to be goal oriented, and/or lamarckian and in stages!
Any fan of star trek has to suffer through a similar, completely misleading representation of evolution. I have a much harder time accepting that than the fantasy physics. Sure, modulate the subspace matrix with your deflector shield generator all you want, you have this physicist's blessings because it could easily refer to so far undiscovered physical phenomena. But we know how evolution works and members of a humanoid species suddenly hitting their next evolutionary stage and turning into an energy being? No, just no!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

That there is a dividing line between macro and micro evolution. These are just colloquial terms, not scientific terms.

LOL, yeah...one of my favorites. I have to keep reminding them that -that's- not why I want to go around killing weak members of the human race, they are, in both instances.
