Without the ability to change and adapt life could have been introduced to this planet in great abundance but would have shortly disappeared.

You cite that as a proof of evolution, I would cite that as a proof that life was created. Let's look at the simplest form of life known, a single celled creature. It is such a complex system (and very ingenious) which it is totally impossible to believe it arose by chance. Two DNA strands, each the mirror image of the other for backup, RNA to tranduce the code into proteins, a feedback system to correct for errors, millions of these DNA base pairs working together to provide the functions of nourishment, reproduction, excretion, growth, etc. necessary in every living being. And all this is a small part of a being of which you can fit a trillion of them in a spoon! To ascribe such a complex, interrelated system to chance is totally ridiculous.

Nobody has ever attributed life to chance alone. Chance plays a big part and life has evolved to make maximum use of chance -- inter and intra chromosomal recombination during meiosis for instance. You ignore the natural laws and selection.
