Adaptation to me is when an organism finds itself in a new environment and either "sinks or swims"... It actually is the restructuring of DNA, maybe by mutation.

Humans are infected with all kinds of microbes that fail to cause symptoms... If you do away with all microbes, you have to live in a plastic bubble--it is called severe combined immunodeficiency--SCID...

However, today, I just read about a gene therapy for X-chromosome linked SCID--but the children are still dying from some rare cancer...
Creationists do not deny that adaptation occurs. Otherwise, how could people have gotten taller over the past few hundred years? Or, how would common viruses (cold/flu/etc.) change forms so quickly? Creationists are not anti-science as I've said before.
