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 since genetic variation arises exists. Genetic variation can be subject to selective pressure such that some alleles are favored and others are not.

Changing ONE WORD (of consequence) in your post, and it's in the realm of the Creationist pre-supposition.

Dan's right that we admit to having pre-suppositions, but you are blind to yours.

Different conclusions based on the same observations are due to differing assumptions. You just won't admit your assumptions.

Except that we have observed genetic variation arise from a population derived from a single organism. It is hardly an assumption. It is an observation.
