Adaptation is merely an adjustment to an environment.   It can be evolutionary as in allele frequencies changing in a population, or merely physiological as in getting a tan in the summer or behavioral as in a lizard moving to and from shade and sun to maintain an effective temperature. 

Some creationists equivocate these different meanings of "adaptation" to avoid dealing with evolutionary adaptation.
