How can you explain the many different strains of bacteria, evolving from previous strains. Something that CAN be observed. Furthermore, why doesn't the bible make any mention of bacteria or even reference to microorganisms? You must know how important bacteria is in everyday life. We could not live without it, yet there is no mention of this in the Bible.

Fair enough. But wouldn't it have to be such, in order to make the claim of 'Creation Science'.

--What would people think of it if they were to read in a book anything resembling bacteria?
- Not sure, what?A couple hundred years ago people saw mold growth as proof that nothing can become somthing, and abiogenesis, untill someone came along and shown its fallacy.
- Its too bad that had to happen.In the bible there is, however, an inquiry on the subject of sanitation, which is greatly contrasting with the effects of disease by micro-organisms.
- The explanation of sanitization in your post seem very vague to me. Genesis accounts for the creation of plants, and animal life, but no where does it indicate a creation of bacteria and lifeforms not visible to the naked eye. Yet the life that is not visible to our own eyes, is a requirement for the survival of Earth.[QUOTE]

- I am skeptical about the bible. And I can definately relate to this comment. Teaching me the literal sense of the bible would be the equivalent to teaching them that water flows up river...

"The explanation of sanitization in your post seem very vague to me. Genesis accounts for the creation of plants, and animal life, but no where does it indicate a creation of bacteria and lifeforms not visible to the naked eye."
--Genesis 1:20 - And God saith, `Let the waters teem with the teeming living creature
--This could include micro-organisms. See below.

​

"Yet the life that is not visible to our own eyes, is a requirement for the survival of Earth."
--Colossians 1:16 - For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,"

- Its just a little too vague for me. It doesn't explain the significance of the 'invisible' (if microorganisms were to be included here), in relation to the rest of the living world. If you can find somewhere that it does give it's importance, please show. Thanks TC.
