Why are you so scared of finding out what the Theory of Evolution really is?
are finding it more difficult to defend with the increase in knowledge on
the subject. I welcome all this increase in scientific knowlegde so we
can finally get rid of this ridiculous theory that has been masquerading
as science.

There is no known animal that is known to have evolved into another kind of animal. That is a fact Jack! HallleluYah !!! Praise the Lord! 😏

29+ Evidences for Macroevolution
The Scientific Case for Common Descent

Introduction
Evolution, the overarching concept that unifies the biological sciences, in fact embraces a plurality of theories and hypotheses. In evolutionary debates one is apt to hear evolution roughly parceled between the terms "microevolution" and "macroevolution". Microevolution, or change beneath the species level, may be thought of as relatively small scale change in the functional and genetic constituencies of populations of organisms. That this occurs and has been observed is generally undisputed by critics of evolution. What is vigorously challenged, however, is macroevolution. Macroevolution is evolution on the "grand scale" resulting in the origin of higher taxa. In evolutionary theory, macroevolution involves common ancestry, descent with modification, speciation, the genealogical relatedness of all life, transformation of species, and large scale functional and structural changes of populations through time, all at or above the species level (Freeman and Herron 2004; Futuyma 1998; Ridley 1993).
Universal common descent is a general descriptive theory concerning the genetic origins of living organisms (though not the ultimate origin of life). The theory specifically postulates that all of the earth's known biota are genealogically related, much in the same way that siblings or cousins are related to one another. Thus, universal common ancestry entails the transformation of one species into another and, consequently, macroevolutionary history and processes involving the origin of higher taxa. Because it is so well supported scientifically, common descent is often called the "fact of evolution" by biologists. For these reasons, proponents of special creation are especially hostile to the macroevolutionary foundation of the biological sciences.
This article directly addresses the scientific evidence in favor of common descent and macroevolution. This article is specifically intended for those who are scientifically minded but, for one reason or another, have come to believe that macroevolutionary theory explains little, makes few or no testable predictions, is unfalsifiable, or has not been scientifically demonstrated.

as evolution is an extremely slow process of almost unnoticeable changes what kind of evidence do you require?

Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population over time.

What is adaptation?
In biology, adaptation is the process by which an organism changes to become better suited to survive in their environment. It can also refer to a physical or genetic trait that helps an organism to be better suited to survive in their environment.

Sounds like the same thing to me.
This talkorigins guy is as confused as you are or maybe, like Dasa says, he is dishonest in trying to change the definintion of adaptation to evolution.
A bunch of crap. IMO

And our last common ancestor with chimps (our closest living relatives) was around millions of years ago.

Talk origins is a good source of info on evolution and is recommended as such by a number of real
evolutionary biologists.
So if you want to know what real biologists actually think and what evolution actually is and
means as opposed to your usual strawman versions of it then you should and need to read this site.
Which also lists quite a large amount of evidence.
PZ Myers here talks about how much time his students spend simply learning about all the evidence for
evolution in his classes (and they barely scratch the surface). (and also recommends talk origins)
