- Anything Else -Whales have lungs because they were created that way...In Reply to: And some reading matter... posted by Farinata on September 07, 1999 at 19:22:29:
Well, I just wanted to put my two cents in here. You have a pretty interesting conversation going here about bacteria and all. I am a Creationist and I agree with both of you to a point. I am also a science teacher(believe it or not). First of all....yes, things adapt to their environment. They have to or they die. Simple. Bacteria do a very good job as you know. However, the point that someone should be making here is this. The bacteria in question is still bacteria. It hasn't "evolved" in to something else. It has just survived by producing those who are resistant to the drug......and so on and so on..... It's a classic "Peppered Moth" example. I belief in natural selection. It is observable and it has been proven. It is an obvious force in our world. However, natural selection has never changed a lizzard into a bird or anything of the like. Whales have lungs because they were created that way...not because they were fish who decided they wanted to breath air on land and then later changed their minds and wanted to live in the water again. I'm making fun now, but think about it. The evolutionist has to have way more "faith" than the Christian who supports a divine Creator.
