You haven't demonstrated that the bacteria evolved. Only that it had taken on a resistance to penicillin
after it's structure was
artifically altered.
Evolution states that an organism will evolve as the "need" arises. Looks to me that your bacteria in the control dish (the ones that died) couldn't evolve without outside influence even though there was a definite need.
You have once again proven the Intelligent Creator theory. Thanks!

The inheritable properties of the bacterial colony changed in response to a change in the environment. That's an example of evolution. You don't seriously expect to be allowed to define something you don't believe in, do you?

Evolution says there has to be variability in the population. The rate of spontaneous mutation was too low to create such variability. No variability, no evolution, just as nice Mr. Darwin proposed.

This is why I won't waste my time debating creationists. You can't change a closed mind.

The environment was altered. The most effective driving force for evolution is an alteration in the environment. It has been observed that environments can change without any 'intelligent' intervention. His experiment involved deliberately altering the environment to create a specific selection, but that does not prove that natural changes in an environment cannot accomplish the same result.

No, it does not. It states that alelle frequencies change over time. If no organism in a population has a mutation that allows them to survive in an otherwise lethal environment, they will all die out rather than 'evolve'.

No theory in science can be proven. Are you claiming that Intelligent Creator Theory is not scientific?
