What allows adaptation?
The organism was created with the information necessary to adapt WITHIN its kind, or species if you will.
What stops adaptations?
The organism lacks the DNA information to adapt further.
You can see that within a species, even in humans. It’s not possible for humans lacking the information to produce dark skin to “evolve” to produce dark skinned offspring even with environmental pressures.

Equivocation: Observing adaptation, calling it “evolution”, then using the same term of “evolution” to assert that molecules organized themselves into humans.

Let me know when you can repeat the experiment.
“Science” after all, is repeatable.

So... you can't or won't answer my questions. Expected.

What allows adaptation?

Imperfect DNA replication with each reproductive event, change in allele frequency over time, various selective pressures.

The organism was created with the information necessary to adapt WITHIN its kind, or species if you will.

"If I will" what? Organisms don't adapt when we're talking evolution. Populations of species adapt. This is another massive flaw of creationist thinking; they often seem to think that "adaptations," to use your word, happens at an individual level.

What stops adaptations?

Well, nothing "stops" them, but selective pressures may very well diminish to such a point as to not give any advantage to a species who has certain allele frequency changes through time.

The organism lacks the DNA information to adapt further.

This sentence has no merit. "The organism" is nothing in the vastness of evolution. Merely having DNA, as all species do, allows a species to "adapt."

You can see that within a species, even in humans. It’s not possible for humans lacking the information to produce dark skin to “evolve” to produce dark skinned offspring even with environmental pressures.

Hm. Again, you seem to think that these shifts happen at the individual level. They don't. But to be clear, am I understanding correctly that it is your belief that Homo sapiens was created with all the different races at the same time? Wow.

And if that's the case, how the heck did Noah do that?
