So what is the point? As I have pointed out, antibiotic resistance is not necessarily mutation oriented. As was stated in the article, scientists don't know why certain resistance genes exist. Their comments after that about the genes resulting from mutations and evolution are pure speculation, since they admit that they don't really know.

BTW, I believe that there are provable instances where mutation and permutations exist, it's just that it is not proveable, nor likely in all cases. Nor is mutation a good argument for evolution since, to date, it has not been shown definitively as a causation of speciation. Furthermore, evolution assumes that higher lifeforms evolve from lower life forms. I reject that notion on the two-fold score that if it were so, almost all mutations should be benign rather than the opposite (as is the real-world case) and most assuredly Mr. Clinton did not decend from a lower life form.
