Not really. Adaptive mutations are just really localized evolution.

This is arguing in a circle :) You can only assert this by presupposing
evolution is a tenable hypothesis.
However, while we can observe, say, a finch mutating spots on its wings, we
cannot observe a finch mutating into an entirely different bird.
But I think you didn't understand my point regarding evolution and the BB
theory. I wasn't using the unexplained to demonstrate to support theism in
my reply to you. I was pointing out that you accept a great deal you cannot
yourself demonstrate or witness.
While we can watch Bill Nye do a great deal, we can't watch him grow a human
being out of a chain of proteins. That's the point...
