“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.

Alleopathy. Gene frequency vs. De novo genetic instruction. You cannot say the gene was there before...you were not there and did not test for it...no one did or could. If there was no nylon before its modern synthesis what is the reason and selective pressure for its conservation? Since there are no known nylon deposits in nature I would guess the degradation system probably does something else first....also “evolution” doesnt work that way...you have confused selection of preexistent genes vs de novo addition of completely new genes..biologically and chemically and physically and ecologically the processes are completely different.
