The ability to adapt IS built right in! Wow. Finally you have stumbled upon the truth.
Living systems are capable of adapting to selective pressure by means of natural selection of genetic variation!
In the case of heat stress, a particular population of bacteria subjected to heat stress went through every possible single change permutation of a particular gene until it produced the high heat protein that eventually dominated the entire population. Now if every possible combination of a single change was attempted, how is evolution supposed to be “random”?

Nice try. I’m talking about an ability to adapt that has been frontloaded into the organism, not blind, stupid random mutations that occasionally hit the jackpot and produce a beneficial mutation every couple of million years.
