what a creationists means when s/he says that they don't believe in evolution they mean that they don't believe that random mutations can add complexity to an organism that didn't already have it in it's genetic code

You mean like the different bacteria that have evolved to make themselves immune to anti-biotics? The immunity that wasn't in their genetic code before, but is now?

That is nothing more than pharmacodynamic tolerance. Using bacteriological immunity to drugs is a poor example of "evolution". Now if, in response to a large dose of antibiotics one bacteria changed into another type of bacteria altogether then you may have reason to crow.
