Pressures don't select... This characteristic is given to nature which it actually doesn't have. If anything, it's all reactionary..

So applying an antibiotic to a population of bacteria doesn't select for resistant bacteria?

Sure it does. If it's 'designed' that way!

hehe..

Carefully read what you wrote..

"So applying an antibiotic"

Just who is applying, and why? Get my drift, someone is purposefully applying someting with an end result in mind. This is an intelligent effort...

And the action itself is not selective -- the bacteria which survive the antibiotic do not do so because the antibiotic selected them to. the only selecting going on is the the one who selects to apply anything in the first place with a desired result in mind..

This is the problem with the language used to defend the theory of evolution. Maybe Darwinists should choose different words to explain the theory of evolution....
