You seem to vacillate wildly between the idea that nobody is arguing against the idea that the bacteria evolved antibiotic resistance and the idea that the variation that would confer resistance had to be there, created by God, from the beginning.

Which is it?

In the case of the citric acid metabolizing e.coli - it was obviously NOT there from the beginning. How could it have evolved when it could only de-evolve? When evolution isn't scientific.

It seems obvious you don't understand variation within a population (species) when you presuppose (despite the evidence) that all variation had to be created from the beginning by God.

No, you misunderstand.

I am not saying it evolved antibiotic resistance. I'm saying it was already there and was expressed under the right conditions.

Do try to keep up and don't let your rabid disdain of non-evolutionary thought blind you so much. It's impeding your reading comprehension.
