OK. If Darwin is a crackpot, and living things do not evolve, then please explain why we now have anti-biotic resistent bacteria.

I assume you know the difference between an animal developing a new characteristic and become an entirely new animal?

But to be a real scientific theory, ID would have to propose a mechanism that stops mutations from eventually making the differences in two subpopulations so diverse they can't interbreed. If we all agree that in a short time small changes can occur, then we must agree that in a long time, big changes can occur unless something stops them. We need to know what that something is and how it works.

Ok, but how many new characteristics before we call it a new animal?
