No, I'm still a human, just like that bacteria is the same bacteria only now more resistent to whatever popular drug thats used to fight it off. No amount of anti-bacterial this and that is gonna change that bacteria into say a snail.

No, that would not be evolution, simply because I seriously doubt that adaptation would be something passed on as a beneficial trait during breeding to forward the species. I'm not sure where the snail thing came from...but again, you're stuck on the idea that evolution has to change one thing into another. Any change in a species that is passed down from one generation to another to forward the species itself is still evolution.

As for god creating the universe thus not having to play by it's rules...ok...but there's a flaw there. If god created the universe, where did he come from before creating it? Since something can't come from nothing and god can't have always just been there, he's got to come from somewhere, too.
