"DRUG RESISTANT PATHOGENS = Evolution in action"

We've dealt with this absurd lie here too many times for you to be ignorant of the facts. - Drug resistance is nothing but temporary deformation of the population demographics of the pathogen. When the drug is discontinued, normal demographics are re-established, so obviously the nonresistant genetic information is retained in the surviving population.

This is obviously just a protection mechanism that God placed in a necessary organism (bacteria, including pathogenic species, consume waste, and thus are necessary for the survival of all life).

Do you have even the basic knowledge of the mechanism of drug resistance in bacteria?

Please explain it in detail for us ignorant masses.

While you are at it, also explain how some tumors become resistant to chemo.

My my, such anger and vile from a Christian, of which, I am one. I’d suggest you read a few actual texts on the subject.

I am neither ignorant nor a liar. Nor am I so shallow to limit the powers and intelligence of God to fit an easily disproved belief.

You still have not explained the acquisition of drug resistance; and the line “When the drug is discontinued, normal demographics are re-established...” is total bunk.

Ever head of MRSA? it is in the environment now, no drugs there to speak of.

Oh, by the way, where did you study medicine?

Obviously. So where is your proof?

The word obviously is not used in science. You have to back up your hypothesis with previously proven facts. I hope you never file a patent for anything. It will be dead in the water.When I worked in a biotech company, the first thing the legal VP told us, after not to gab about company secrets, was to never use the word obviously. If something is obvious , it is known to all and cannot be patented.
