from amber. Spores of bacteria were found inside the insect and actually grew . Analysis of the DNA extracted showed it was very much like the DNA found in bacteria growing in bees today. Just as the creation model predicts, bees have always been bees and bacteria have always been bacteria! If evolution is true...why did this happen??

Had to read the paper before answering. It was interesting. Although scientists are skeptical about whether it is a result of contamination or not. I really wish they had gone into more details. How similar it is to the modern bacteria. What is really interesting is in the millions of years of history this bee still has a symbiotic relationship with this bacterium. That this has not changed. It is also interesting that 25-40 million years later this bacteria has hardly changed when bacteria undergo evolutionary changes easily. It would seem things like this would make some wonder but non-Christians have to cling to evolution. If they deny it they may have to consider the existence of God.
EDIT: Great Gazoo - you must have looked up the wrong issue. I had no trouble finding the article. I would link to it but it is on a secure server through my university.

For the same reason that the fossils of horseshoe crabs are nearly identical to the ones that are found in the oceans today. It's because some animals have evolved over time and some have not. As long as an animal species is able to find a niche, there is no reason for adaptations to take place.

Actually the "creation model" predicts that there are no such thing as 25-40 million old bees.

There is not always a need for animals to evolve. It is possible that bees had no reason to adapt to any changing conditions very much. It does say they VERY similar so it does not necessarily disprove any changes :)

Key words here---VERY MUCH LIKE... meaning it was like, but not exactly the same.
Translation--modern bee and bacteria DNA isn't *exactly* the same as 25 million year old bee and bacteria DNA. It's evolved since then.
(And by the way, our DNA is "very much like" primate DNA)

Evolutionist are a product of the rich and famous to get richer and more famous. A creation itself within a certain group of people to invent something different and new that would bring in money. Also a trick of the devil to confuse some to question God and turn away from God.

Evolution doesn't insist change must happen, only that change can happen.
Also, if a bee evolves into a wasp, it doesn't mean that all bees change into wasps. Most will stay bees.

If it works good there is no reason to evolve. If you are adapted to your environment why change, especially if your environment doesn't. Change in the environment cause change in the animal. (evolution) Alligators, crocodiles, turtles and sharks also have not changed much in millions of years. If it works, why change?

My bee geneticist friend disagrees.
Sounds very cherry picked to me. Which species of bee? Which bacteria?
My friend did arduous work on locating a varient gene to combat the Asian mites that were killing our honeybees in the USA. It took him years and deductive testing to determine which area of southern Russia to visit to collect specimens in order to study their DNA to find the gene that was resistant to the mite.
So, your question is hooey.
