Yeah, you just keep on believing that was the reason.
"“explain how you know that the ability to adapt ‘evolved’”
"I don’t “know” anything anything about how it came about (although there are some interesting hypothesis about auto-catalytic RNA), but I know that it was Gods plan that the Oceans bring forth life."
That's correct. You don't know. You assume, as does 'science'. Science *assumes* that the ability to adapt 'evolved' and proceeds from that 'a priori' assumption.
And it does not logically follow that life emerged from the oceans because God caused them to bring forth life. After all, if you are going to invoke God, land plants were created first and flying birds at the same time as the sea creatures.
Clearly you want to pick and choose what you believe God did based on what man says.
"I can also observe that living systems can and do adapt to changing circumstances and the evidence suggests they do it by means of natural selection of genetic variation."
Yes, but you can't say whether life acquired that ability by evolution or whether God created all life with that ability except by invoking man's opinion because you believe what man says about evolution.
"Adaptation by means of selection is an inescapable conclusion of the scientific evidence."
Which could equally mean that life was created with that ability from the domain to the sub-species level and there would be no disagreement with observation. It is your opinion that causes you to reject what God says and believe what man says.
"As is the fact that the Earth circles the Sun by means of gravitational attraction. You accept neither."
And I used to accept both until I started looking for the scientific evidence to support them and found none.

Do you also believe the earth to be flat?
