Antibiotic resistance comes about by natural selection of genetic variation exactly as the theory states.
Do you have a better explanation for how antibiotic resistance develops other than through natural selection of genetic variation?
So yes, the EVOLUTION of antibiotic resistance is observable science. The common descent of species is not directly observable, but it is a theory with testable implications and scientific applications.
Creationism, once again for the thinking impaired, has no scientific applications.

Ah, another clueless evo who doesn't understand the difference between "empirical" and "forensic."
I have no better explanation for antibiotic resistance for the simple reason that I accept the genetic explanation.
What I DON'T accept is the completely unfounded assumption that because a bacteria mutates to develop resistance against a particular antibiotic (while remaining, you know, the same species of bacteria), that this magically validates the entirely non-empirical wishful thinking of amphibians turning into reptiles millions upon millions of years ago.
Like I said, the one is observable, the other (by definition) is not, and rests only upon the a priori philosophical assumptions of evolutionists. That isn't "science", however.
BTW, tell me, what does pahbah mean to you?
It's just the extrapolation of that into speiciation that creationists don't accept.
But then, I suppose that there's no other way to slam creationists than to misrepresent their position.
And evos give the ToE way too much credit for progress in science. Mendel's work was concurrent with Darwin's theory and Mendel didn't accept Darwin's conclusions. Penicillin was discovered by accident.

For the evo thinking impaired, check out Mendel's life and qualifications.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregor_Mendel
"Gregor Johann Mendel (July 20, 1822[1] – January 6, 1884) was an Augustinian priest and scientist, and is often called the father of genetics for his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of these traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of the discipline of genetics."
At first Mendel's work was rejected, and it was not widely accepted until after he died. The common belief at the time was that Darwin's theory of pangenesis was responsible for inheritance. The modern synthesis uses Mendelian genetics.
