: Now, a challenge for you, Shaun.
: In 1960, 13% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were resistant to penicillin.
: In 1988, 91% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were resistant to penicillin.
: The generally-accepted reason is that natural selection occurred due to the constant exposure these bacteria had to the antibiotics used in the meat industry; only the naturally resistant mutations of the bacteria survived and bred, leading to strains of Staphylococcus aureus that were resistant to antibiotics like Penicillium.
: How can you explain it, if you don't believe in natural selection, which is the fundamental mechanism of evolution?
That's not evolution, that's adaptation to ones envirnment.
Lets say that in 1960, 13% of the children who were left on a desert island survived thier encounter and in 1988 91% of children left on a desert island survived. Does this prove that evolution is true? Or does it show that as time went on those kids learned how to live and adapt to thier surroundings and fend for themselves? Those stephanie aurora borealis things you were talking about eventually learned how to survive the penicillin thats all.
I don't think all scientific stuff is stupid. For instance, I do believe the earth is billions of years old and I think its possible that there was a big bang that created the earth. But I simply cannot believe that living cells just evolved from out of nowhere. Where did they come from? How did the first living cell come about? The only logical explination is that somebody created it. And how does some kind of amoeba or cell or whatever evolve into a higher life form like a monkey, and then a person? It can't happen. If I leave a wristwatch on the ground for millions of years can it evolve into a pc? So then how can a microorganism evolve into a higher life form. It only makes sense that somebody created it.
