As I said, there's a bit of oversimplification there (as it would take 20 pages to begin to do it justice), but yes, for all intents and purposes, you can assume that when you've used the 99%-effective spray on 1,000 bugs, 10 will be left alive and cannot be killed by that particular spray.

Natural selection is obviously observed but the crux of this argument is, in my opinion, purpose and design or science sterilized from ID – i.e. secular fundamentalism.
Again, this is ‘my’ take on this entire argument.

...10 will be left alive and cannot be killed by that particular spray. And if the bugs no longer get sprayed, what will the future population be like?
Do the non-resistant bugs outproduce the others? or the other way around? Or does the ratio stay the same?
