The Theory of Evolution vs. the Theory of Adaptation?

The hardest part to see is the creation itself of life, where did it come from. The thing I always stress is the truly incredible vast amounts of time we're referring to here. A colony of bacteria (which were the only life for 500 million years) can reproduce in 20 mins. (some species) Now how many times does 20 fit into 500 million? This is the number of times that mutations could occur. Have you heard of MRSA? Methycillin resistant Staph aureus. This is a strain of bacteria that have evolved to be resistant to all known antibiotics. They adapted yes, but an individual organism can not adapt. You said it yourself, the ones with the long beaks survived. They all didn't grow long beaks because they needed them, the shorter ones starved and died out. That is how natural selection works. You really need to get down to the chrmosomal level of DNA transcription to see how easy it is for a strand of DNA to mutate. It happens all the time and most of the time the cell dies because the protein's code was affected and can no longer be made. But... every once in a while a change happens that doesn't kill an animal and THEN something happens to make this change beneficial, like having an extra long beak.
