There is no argument. I keep telling you evolution is a process. This is just you staw manning in attempt to address the harder argument.

We both agree that the process evolution doesn't always require intellects to continue. The question is are intellects required to "jump start" the process? You keep avoiding this question and instead engage in straw manning and obfuscation. Are you afraid of it?
Are you saying if nylon was dropped in the puddle via earthquake, then the bacteria wouldn't be able to evolve to the ability to eat it? But since it was drop via factory hose, then the bacteria was able to evolve. Or do you think that the bacteria was already evolving to eat nylon before nylon existed? The only option that doesn't sound ridiculous is the bacteria evolved the ability by itself independent of the method the nylon got to it.
