People always ask for current evidence of evolution at work... aren't the new strains that develop of various diseases that are resistant to certain treatments/medication just that evidence?

Glossy it up however you like, microevolution, adaption, it's still evolution of some kind.

Of course it is. The dictionary's definition of evolution: "A gradual process in which something changes into a more complex form." As it is a GRADUAL change, it may be something that we dont see in our lifetime. We may not even see it for many many thousands of years, and by the time a noticable change has occured, we have become used to it, and don't realise it is a change.

No why do you think the doctor will keep changing your meds when you go for sinus? If you would keep taking the same meds your body would build up a tolerance level and the disease could mutate into something a lot worse. The original disease already existed but it changed due to the meds.

No not at all most virus and bacteria have all that coded in them from the get go . Just like you and me , in our immune system when we get sick with the mumps or flues ect.. your body become immune. There is also what is called micro evolution that is in every kind of life its in the Geno a certain amount of different characteristics that can come around in a new generation ,,like with kids they might have to small parents but they turn out tall or the different dogs types all are dogs .ect,, you can take that out to and living thing.

Has any creationist ever said that there is no variation within a species? Did any of these viruses or bacteria become anything but a virus or bacteria? Looks like mere variation to me...The generation cycle of a virus is seconds it would seem to me that if a virus was actually going to become a new species it would have done that by now...Jim

Very, Very nice Selnyk!
When a bacteria or virus changes in order to survive in a new host or against an aggressive outside influence.To me,it is a form of evolution.
Bravo!

Nope.
That is adaption. A completely different synthesis.
Evolution is a genetic or heretic change that brings about a better species.

Yes. They do studies on fruit flies that mutate and change and if it were not for our advanced way of cross breeding we wouldn't have some of our vegtables as often and as long as before. So to say it doesn't exists is not true. I believe what redeye.treefrog said! We did start from something!

Mutations and adaptations are not evolution.
There is room in the genome of all living organisms for variation.

They are evidence of life at it's course, of course. Changes happen in life.

I believe in both evolution and creation.
Who says it has to be just one.
God creates, then evolution takes over. Who says God created people just as they are today. I think we have evolved to what we are now, God just started us out.
