There is the good science, which is known as natural selection, and that’s a process we work with to model and try dealing with antibiotic resistance in germs, as well as pesticide resistance in pests. Microbes evolve, and this is easily observable, especially when one generation for a microbe is very short compared to the life of a human being, you can watch their lifespan over the course of days, and for a lot of microbes, if they’re not limited by resources, a generation can be minutes. However, regarding the origin of life, even evolution is a stretch to describe it, because experimentally, we haven’t proven capable of making life from non-living matter, we always need living organisms to make other living organisms.

"Microbes evolve, and this is easily observable"

Adaptation not = evolution

Microbes adapt, which is not the same as what evolutionists claim happened for species to evolve.
