[GourmetDan]

"Therefore a bacteria under stress increases its natural tendency to mutate its DNA, thereby changing its genetic makeup."

While bacteria exhibit this complex biological ability, it never occurs to the evolutionist that they merely *assume* that this ability 'evolved'.

The fallacy of Affirming the Consequent lives on...

[allmendream]

Whether this ability was put into the bacteria from the beginning or evolved independently is immaterial to the fact that a bacteria under stress intentionally increases its mutation rate in order to increase its chances of successful evolution.

What other reason would bacteria under stress intentionally increase their mutation rate?

Why would God want bacteria to increase their mutation rate in response to stress?

Why would bacteria that increase their mutation rate in response to stress have a survival advantage over those bacteria that do not?
