How do anti-evolutionists respond to this?

Question

I happen to believe that the concept of a creator and evolution are not mutually exclusive, but for those who do, how do you explain strains bacteria that are essentially evolving before our eyes and mutating so rapidly that new drug-resistant strains are created?

Or is this phenomenon a lie perpetrated by pagan scientists?

Answer 1

i beleive God uses his creation for many wonderous things

i also know i did not evolve from apes ...i came from Adam.

Answer 2

I just read a scientific research article that addressed that very question. In it, they clarified the issue, that evolution and mutation are two totally and completely different things. As far as evolution and creation go; Any good scientist will tell you that almost all scientific understanding is non conclusive and only fact to the best of their understanding. That what they think might be fact today, could very well be proved wrong tomorrow. We know that a limited amount of evolution exists. Does it, or has it, existed to the extremes of Darwin's theory? I don't even pretend to know. I do however, know this; People misinterpret the creation as found in Genesis. The earth as we know it, was not created in seven days. It was created in the spirit, in seven days and then after, it was made here as the earth we know. How that was done is something unknown, but again, what is known, is that Father's work, even His miracles, are done by natural means, though they are means beyond our understanding. Personally, I don't care how the earth and our existence here came about physically. Does it really matter? There are too many good and positive things to put our efforts into in this life, to worry about things that make no difference.

When a bacteria turns into a monkey in order to evade antibiotic drugs, call me.

In the mean time what you see isn't evolution at all. Say you have three kinds of bacteria, all competing for resources: A, B, and C. A and B reproduce quickly and you generally see them and rarely see C. Then you come up with a drug that kills A.

After a while you've killed all the A bacteria and now you're seeing a lot of B and sometimes a little C. You find a drug that kills B.

All of a sudden C is thriving and you start seeing a lot of it. Note that the A's and B's haven't turned into C's, but rather the C's were already there. You just weren't seeing them. Once you killed all their competition, they came to the forefront. And they haven't "developed a resistance" to your antibiotics, there were resistant to it all along.

There's a similar story about moths in England. Something about them evolving to get darker in color. It turned out there were always light and dark colored moths, but as the trees got darker due to pollutants in the atmosphere, the lighter colored moths were easier to spot and the birds were eating them. No evolution, just a shift in the population due to preditors.

Answer 4

Yeah you anti-evolutionists need to explain the 3 eyed fish near those nuclear plants and the fish in the Allegheny river near Pittsburgh that have both male and female organs (didn't have them 30 years ago!)

I know what you guys are going to say, these bacteria like the mrsa strand and such were just behaving as a species to adapt to its environment (found first in hospitals.) And that medical advancements are great but bacteria are fighting back (actually good articles on that I just dummied it down a bit.) And some how we are polluting our waters and causing these mutations with the fish.

Well you know what I say to you anit-evolutionists how say this, "you're right!" : )

Answer 5

Bacteria have been around for a very long time. When God cursed the earth this brought about disease causing bacteria. Evolving bacteria is not the same as one species evolving into a totally different species. Evolution on a microscopic level does not constitute nor prove evolution on an organismal scale. We have never seen one species of organism evolve into another species of organism. To me evolution is adaptation. The bacteria and animals adapt to suit their needs for survival.

Answer 6

Evolution of a virus is caused by only a horizontal or even a negative change in informational content, and therefore does not relate to the sort of evolution we disagree with.
It certainly does not involve any increase in functional complexity.
It selects from existing informational content - no newly created content.
So, while viruses may change considerably, and while the virus may have changed its infectivity, it is certainly not the type of change, in quality or direction, which would or could cause that virus to become a totally new, more complex type of living organism.

Answer 7

well friend its not really evolving virus' just adapting to whats being thrown at them just like we adapt to virus'. think about chicken pox we only get them one time in our life because the cp virus doesnt change or adapt. now how do you respond to this; if i evolved from a monkey why are there still monkeys walking around wouldnt they have evolved too and why is it that man isnt evolving now getting better. oh and im not a christian either i think that things are just a little too perfect for there to not have been a supreme creator.

Answer 8

First you may renowned their element. technological information is often changing and what's seen remarkable is often based upon the society it is examining it and in case you do no longer believe this, I especially advise you're taking a technological information history classification, or only learn the way commonplace the assumption of preformation replaced into. 2nd, you may tell them that even historical civilizations knew the Earth replaced into around and "the Earth is flat" has continuously been a minority opinion. third, you may clarify that the character of technological information is to no longer practice issues precise (that's impossible), yet to coach issues incorrect. and because Darwin, actually thousands of scientists have been attempting to coach it incorrect and none of them have controlled it. in actuality, the thought of Evolution isn't in elementary terms one concept anymore, this is quite a number of theories that describe species replace extra time. Then tell them that if evolution replaced into ever shown incorrect, you will possibly particularly choose for to pay attention approximately it, despite the fact that, no peer-reviewed physique of technological information has controlled to poke a hollow in it as yet (that's the requirement for something to be labeled as incorrect). in case you deny that technological information transformations, then you definitely are asking to be shot down.

Answer 9

The evolution theory is one that religious folks don't like to contemplate for it contradicts the wholly babble and its legends... Of course there were no dinosaurs before mankind... God created Adam and Eve first...

Incredible how millions blindly believe in that stuff because Father so and so told them!

Answer 10

How do you explain nearly 150 years of Evolutionary research and NO evolution of animals, plants, or people during that time?

Answer 11

I agree with you.

God was the big bang and then evolution took over.
