Why do scientists have to develop more powerful antibiotics every time?
Because mutations in those microorganisms that survive their effects are passed on to their peers when they reproduce.
It is called...er....Evolution.
And, do you agree that petroleum is made of hydrocarbons?
And that these come from decaying biomass?
And that it takes millions of years for this decaying biomass to turn into petroleum and natural gas?
It is called....er....the Earth being MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, not 6000.

As far as I know, and I am a fool as a theist, you're fairly close. I think the changes that take place within a species are called 'mutations', and you're likely not going to get anybody to argue that point - doesn't prove or disprove evolution.
There are many theists that agree with your time-frame of the age of the earth as well. How is this an issue for theism?
Couldn't your two arguments fit within the framework of a universe created by a God? Of course it could.
Are you related to 'Jonny Knoxville' by chance?

When you make such a gross generalization about the faithful to imply that all faithful reject "er....Evolution," you detract from your own argument.
Either that, or you're trolling on the bottom of the gene pool.
As a Christian, I have no problem with either concept of evolution or "intelligent design," except that I think there's no duality, at all. I believe evolution *is* intelligent design.
And no, I don't think Earth is 6,000 years old...

Um, I'm a theist and a biologist. I don't just know about antibiotics and resistance, I encounter them in the lab every day.
Please do not lump all who believe in a form of deity with the Fundamentalist Christian minority that finds evolution abhorrent. If even those in their own faith cannot agree with them, it is silly to assume the rest of us do.

The earth is billions of years old. That is certain, even with percent error calculated. I'm sure the devil inserted oil or something, or maybe some metaphor in the Bible yet undiscovered covers it. Give them any scientific reasoning and they will find some random passage. AND STOP REPORTIG ME! IF THE TRUTH IS OFFENSIVE, GET A NEW RELIGION!

But they are still bacteria,etc.,they haven't changed into puppies.Micro-evolution is believable, macro-evolution, I have to throw the b.s. flag at this one.Can't be proven, completely unbelievable, couldn't have happened.2)Obviously, it can't take millions of years because the earth hasn't been here that long.
