Evolution is a predictive science in that I know that if I take one bacteria and plate it ten times on ten different plates and subject them to ten different stresses, I can develop ten different stress resistant strains of that bacteria.

And they'l still all be bacteria of the same kind, possibly with some minimal loss of genetic information.

They put the idea of macroevolution to an outright test over a space of decades in the 1900s with tests on fruit flies, and the test utterly failed. Fruit flies breed new generations every other DAY so that running such a test over decades involves more generations of fruit flies than there have ever been of anything even remotely similar to humans on this planet. They subjected those flies to heat, cold, every sort of radiation, blast, chemicals and everything in the world known to cause mutations and recombined the mutants every possible way. All they ever got was fruit flies, sterile freaks, and individuals which returned, boomerang-like, to the norm for fruit flies after two generations.

That was because our entire living world is driven by information and the only information they ever had in the picture was that for fruit flies. Evolution is a bunch of bullshit and its basically the stupidest ideological doctrine ever devised by the mind of man. It is presently being defended by academic dead wood and by people with too much ego investment, tenure investment, and lifestyle investment to let go. Nobody with brains or talent is defending it at this point.

Evolution is a predictive science, even if you want to call a bacteria the same “kind” a term that no creationist can define accurately.

And no, there is no “loss” of information. The information that is there is changed. Not gained or lost, changed.

A bacteria under stress expresses DNA polymerase that is error prone.

Idiotic creationists insist that selection of variation is NOT a productive means of dealing with the environment, but the little bacteria ‘knows’ better.

A bacteria, of course, ‘knows’ nothing; but the presence of error prone DNA polymerase in its genome shows that having a working and expressable copy is a survival advantage.

So why would a bacteria on the brink of destruction start a process that will DELIBERATELY mutate its DNA?

No creationist has ever provided an answer to that simple question.

“Why do bacteria have error prone DNA polymerase and express it at times of cellular stress?”

Evolution has an answer.

Creationism, as usual, has nothing.
