Bacteria before and bacteria afterward. No upward evolution to a new kind.

So what is your point?

Goats never ate manufactured cardboard until man invented manufactured cardboard.

From Wikipedia:
Quote:In 1975 a team of Japanese scientists discovered a strain of Flavobacterium, living in ponds containing waste water from a nylon factory, that was capable of digesting certain byproducts of nylon 6 manufacture, such as the linear dimer of 6-aminohexanoate. These substances are not known to have existed before the invention of nylon in 1935. Further study revealed that the three enzymes the bacteria were using to digest the byproducts were significantly different from any other enzymes produced by other Flavobacterium strains (or, for that matter, any other bacteria), and not effective on any material other than the manmade nylon byproducts.[1]

So how did these bacteria start producing those enzymes which before were never seen in any bacteria ever until after man created nylon?

Again, you're being willfully stupid in repeating the "bacteria are just bacteria, there's no new kind" idiocy because you're still holding onto that straw man argument that evolution means a dog will give birth to a cat or a chimp will give birth to a human.

How do you explain antibiotic-resistant bacteria? The same bacteria which before were killed by antibiotics but now are not affected? Yes, they're still bacteria but they're not the same bacteria as numerous generations before.

Oh and just to disprove your original post on this thread:

Quote:There is scientific consensus that the capacity to synthesize nylonase most probably developed as a single-step mutation that survived because it improved the fitness of the bacteria possessing the mutation. This is seen as a good example of evolution through mutation and natural selection that has been observed as it occurs.[7][8][9][10]

Check fucking mate. Same goes for any idiot who claims that nobody has ever observed evolution occurring.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
