That would be me.
Evolving ampicillin resistance in E. coli is trivial, anyone can demonstrate it is a week or less.
Turning E. coli into an Actinomycete or a Rickettsia?
That cannot be done.
You don't do your argument any favors when you make statements like that. I can't turn my cat into a lion in a week or a month or a year or a century. But you would start with your statement and assert that although that can happen in a week, nothing extraordinary can happen in a million years. At that point the burden of proof is on you to establish YOUR hypothesis.
