Thanks for the kind argument from reason, rather than just shouting an opinion, MGBGUN. Yes, the traits of super bacteria are an adaptation to their enviroment, but there is a point where adaptation does lead to the development of different species, usually because of geographic isolation. Here is an article in layman's terms that explains how adaptation can ultimately lead to speciation And here is another article -- again in layman's terms -- that lists documented cases of laboratory-induced and naturally observed speciation.Evolution is a fact. The only question is what changes are accountable to evolution. I fall in the squishy middle.
- We have observed evolution in the wild; therefore, it is a fact.
- Evolution is not contrary to the word of God. He often uses natural laws that he created to accommplish his purposes. That does not make them any less miraculous.
- We do not have enough transitional fossils to justify the idea that all life is descended from one-celled organisms, or even to justify the idea that cows and horses evolved from a common ancestor.
- God's word tells us the who. Genesis does not go into detail about the when and the how. God's general revelation to us through his creation does not and cannot contradict God's specific revelation to us in his word.
You have given me a little research work here. At work now, don’t have time but I’ll get back to you. Thanks,
