Why is evolution hiding?

[Chas]

It's actually laboratory observable, especially with bacteria. Which is part of why we have to keep developing antibiotics.

Yes but the bacteria doesn't become something totally different but stronger Bacteria.

Not quite right.

Antibiotics will kill all the bacteria except ones that have some resistance due to a mutation.

The next generation of bacteria will be harder to kill. If any have another mutation that confers greater resistance, some of them may survive.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Those bacteria are a new strain of bacteria - they are genetically different from their ancestors. That is evolution.

I evolved when I took my Xanax too. This would be observable in a lab as well. When I started taking Xanax 2 milligrams would knock me out. Eventually I reached a point where I could pop over 10 mg and be up and about functioning well.

No, you didn't. You became acclimated to the drug. That is way above the genetic level. And that is not evolution.
