Strike anti-biotic resistance in bacteria from the list of examples of recent evolution. D'oh!

[GraceG]

Anti-biotics are produced in Nature by Fungi to keep bacteria from eating/competeing with them.

So it is not any wonder bacteria would have a defense for this. So the fungi end up needing to adapt to this via mutations and fungal breeding.

Life is a constant arms race.

This is one for Dr. Joseph P. Ferrel to look at.

I fail to see how this invalidates any evidence for evolution. Evolution is an observed fact, the exact mechanism remains in question, and no reason it couldn’t be how The Creator set things up, but the fact that these genes existed does nothing to change the evolutionary evidence of change in populations to produce anti-biotic resistant bacteria.

Yep, what creationists have said all along. Drug resistance is just selection not evolution.

Many antibiotics were derived from naturally-occurring molds.

So, evolution goes on and on and on...
