Adaptation and science, Part Two

Adaptation: 
A physical trait or behavior due to inherited characteristics that gives an organism the ability to survive in a given environment.
Biblical creationists consider  major structures to be part of the original design provides by God. Modifications to those structures, adaptations, occur due to genetic recombination, random mutations and natural selection. These structures do not arise from the modification of similar structures of another kind of animal. The beak of the woodpecker, for example, did not arise from the beak of a theropod dinosaur ancestor; it was an originally designed structure. The difference in beak shapes among woodpeckers fits with the idea of natural selection leading to changes within a population of woodpeckers-within the created kind.
