The antibiotic bacterial citation is assuming the DNA 'changes' took place whereas these previously may have existed in the bacterial population from the git go my friend. You do NOT KNOW what the original DNA pool of these bacterial agents was how could you since you would need to have had someone study every single bacterial organism's dna? You assume their were 'changes' made by mutations while along the bacteria that survive have dna that was there in the beginning.

Evolution is allele changes in populations over time. Whether the mutations took place earlier or later is of no consequence. The alleles that increased in frequency were the ones that provided immunity. That is evolution.
The point of the debate was on beneficial mutations. I explained that sickle cell was beneficial in tropical malarial areas but harmful in temperate zones. Creationists don't seem to be able to comprehend that relativity.
