Evolution is a religion. This article would be heresy to the evolutionists.
“As with most evolutionary “facts,” this turned out to be nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of evolutionists. We now know that the genes needed for antibiotic resistance existed in the Middle Ages “
Utter nonsense. The genes were in the population at a low level and were selected for when the bacteria were exposed to antibiotics. They occurred as random mutations. Until antibiotics there was no advantage to the organisms that had them. That’s how evolution works.
So bacteria having a gene that degrades nylon is not surprising. Put them in an environment rich in nylon and you will see an increase in the number of bacteria with the gene.
Evolutionists have never said animals or bacteria create new genes in response to their environment. That’s Lysenkoism, not science.
I worked for years on the discovery and study of microbes with the ability to biotransform man-made compounds like Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). We found that the pathways and enzymes able to degrade these compounds were those used to degrade natural compounds with a similar structure. In many cases there was no selective advantage to degrading the man-made compounds because the bacteria could not grow on these materials. While that meant it was not possible for them to increase their numbers in contaminated samples, we could increase their number by adding the natural compounds to the environmental samples.
