Quote:Well no it doesn't. I'm sure your thinking about antibiotic resistance developing in bacteria. Antibiotic resistance is often hijacked as an example of evolution, but it actually is not creating new genetic information. What happens is a small percent of bacteria contain a segment of pre-existing DNA called plasmids. These segments of DNA code for proteins that destroy the antibiotic molecules. Bacteria can then transfer this segment of DNA between each other and thus they gain this ability to survive. But it is not the creation of new information, it is just a brilliant design to keep populations of bacteria alive.
This actually gave me a headache reading it.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
