I can prove God exists with every breath I take. "I am" witness to God's existence.

And yet, ironically (unless you're truly kooky), if you get an infection of your lungs, affecting those very breaths you take, you'll rely on medicine and the antibiotics we've developed and continue to tweak in the face of evolution to be cured.

Sometimes responding to the Spirit of words shows more intellect.

Ah, the same old tired, *If you don't accept the ToE you're a hypocrite for availing yourself of modern medicine.*

Knowing about antibiotic resistance is not dependent on accepting the ToE; it came about the hard way, by observing it. If it was, then doctors and scientists should have predicted that it would happen instead of handing out antibiotics like candy until, oops... now we have antibiotic resistant bacteria. Obviously, knowing about and accepting the ToE did nothing to prevent the health crisis we face now. Shouldn't the ToE been able to predict that?

And not accepting the ToE is not the same as rejecting science off hand. There are many branches of science that can be successfully practiced without evolution ever entering into them. Good science depends on the scientific method not adherence to a theory. Too many theories in the past have changed and continue to change by the day. So why should people be condemned because of being skeptical of one?
