"If that's true, then you should be able to explain how you know that the ability to adapt 'evolved'. If you can't explain that, I doubt you 'do science'."

If you really are clever and 'do science', then answering the question I posed to you above should be a snap.

Or are you so clever that you avoid answering any real questions and focus on your imagined superiority?

The ability to adapt is inherent within any living system whose molecules of inheritance is subject to change and the population is influenced by natural selection. If the molecules of inheritance are malleable, and they most certainly are, then genetic variation arises. Genetic variation can be subject to selective pressure such that some alleles are favored and others are not.
