That is not evolution. That is adaptation within a species. Evolution encompasses a much broader concept or theory. Adaptation within a species, as you are probably well aware, is a fact and very well documented. I will have to disagree with you that evolution is a fact though.
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.
