“That being said, only a fool could deny that micro-evolution happens all the time around us. It is micro-evolution that causes bacteria to become resistant to anti-biotics.”

Don’t call me a fool, or the millions out there who have never spent days staring into a microscope and who fully believe in creation for all its worth.

For you, please elaborate on the differences between evolution and adaptation.
Are you ready to make the statement that adaptation is incapable of becoming resistant? (Whether bacteria or any other...)
That this ‘event’ is exclusive to evolution?

Not getting into a pissing fight with you or anyone else. I know what I believe and I’m comfortable with why I believe it. The fact that I cannot explain it down to the nth degree to satisfy someone with a science degree does not lessen what I know to be true:

** God created our present world in 6 days

** Micro evolution - adaptation - macro evolution are the same/different/related all at some level.

** There is pre-Biblical history that we do not have sufficient knowledge to even make a guess as to what the world looked like at that time, who inhabited it, and what they did while here.

If I used a broad brush statement, don’t move over to make sure you get hit by it. That’s foolish right there. I meant no insult to you or anyone else. If you want to take offense, I can’t stop you.

But, nothing you’ve said dissuades me from I believe. God created the present earth in 6 days, Man was created in his image - these two things do not preclude or prevent micro-evolution on a cellular level.
