"The emergence of antibiotic resistance is the most eloquent example of Darwin's principle of evolution that there ever was," says Livermore.

I dont know whether it's the most eloquent, but it certainly provides us with a useful example.

Does adaptability equate to created by chance, and evolved from nothing?

I don't think so. This just shows that life forms are adaptable, self-preserving entities.

When that bacteria evelves into a different kind of life, that will be evolution. This is an example of adaptation.

It is still a bacyeria, not a multi-cell animal.

Call me when the bacteria turn into something besides a bacteria. :)
