Subject: Wade says... Author: Wade A. Tisthammer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/18/02 11:33am In reply to: ozboy 's message, "Duh... stupid says...." on 02/ 3/02 7:12pm >Some theories regarding evolution are unproven... >sure.... but many are.... > >Hospitals currently have a lot of trouble with >superbugs ... these are things like golden staf which >change when attacked with antibiotics. True, but one thing I should point out is that many of these adaptations are not due to genetic mutation, but to ordinary recombination of genes within type. Bacteria that get immunity from mutations are “evolutionary cripples” because they experience harmful side effects from the mutation. >These changes can take place in weeks and even >days.... and they don't change into fish! The problem >with us and the monkeys is that the changes took place >over millions of years!.... a concept of time people >find very difficult to understand. Because the resistances to antibiotics in bacteria (and other changes we see in life forms) result only in varied alleles in genes that already exist, one cannot simply extrapolate the directly observable changes we see in these organisms to obtain macroevolutionary changes. Creation can simply claim that these variations are only “horizontal” changes that will never result in creating a more complex life form because of this. More work needs to be done here if you wish to claim that evolution explains this set of data better creation. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
