I stumbled upon a brilliant page on “Creation science” the other day (http://www.teachinghearts.org/dre09creationnotes.html). It’s amazing how much effort this guy’s put in proving his specious logic. Kind of reminded me of the “atheist’s nightmare”.
LOL!! Raoul, you have fallen into their trap, and have become specious, too!
I’m presently in the middle of some calculations designed to determine the number of man hours consumed by scientists everywhere for all time to discover everything we know, from the beginning of history to the present time.
Like I said, I haven’t completed my work, but I’m confident the number will prove to be a very large one….
Blader, LOVE your calculations! But when you finish and publish, please don’t make it as long as the aforementioned site. Wow. Now THAT’s a waste of time!!
Oh, and great Jesus and Mo. Keep ‘em coming.
I don’t think that bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics is evolution. I read that bacteria have a mechanism in them that makes them able to develop a resistance to something that poisons them. When bacteria become resistant to an antibiotic, this is not a genetic change. I do believe in evolution, and I believe that bacteria evolved this mechanism.
What you are talking about is the F Factor that is expressed in some bacteria allowing them to exchange genetic information with each other - such as anti-biotic resistance genes. However not all disease causing bacteria have this ability. It is a very complex mechanism but also one that takes place with little awareness of the situation the bacteria is in - it is rarely successful outside of controlled environments in the case of antibiotic resistance.
The best example of small scale evolution is cancer and chemotherapy: at first chemotherapy is very effective however the cancer cells mutate rapidly and develop resistances to the chemotherapy thus the cancer becomes more aggressive and destructive over time. This is why we can’t win the war against cancer with chemotherapy.

Great stuff: call me a mo-ron, but it took me about four cartoons to figure out who “Mo” is.

Allah these are funny. As Mo etc. etc.
Thanks!
