Re: Drug resistance
The bacteria did not evolve to become resistant because there were studies done on bacteria with no exposure to antibiotics yet they still had the resistance.
The bacteria are known for certain to have evolved resistance because you can check at the start of the experiment that they are not resistant. This is easy to do: you just check that the antibiotic kills the population you start off with. Do you think biologists are morons?
Your claim, even if true, would be irrelevant to such experiments.

Re: Drug resistance
I read many articles from science that explain the many ways in which these organisms adapt and some were noted to prepare for a future change in their environment in advance ...
If you can show me any experiments demonstrate precognition in bacteria I should be most grateful. And surprised, of course.

Re: Zhang and Saier
I think that what Wounded King's account of what he thinks is superior to your account of what he thinks.
This is because, if possible, your ability to read minds is inferior even to your knowledge of biology.

Re: Zhang and Saier
Are you reading WK's mind now?
No.
Creationists ... you really do have to explain everything to them, don't you?

We only learned about random mutation with the discovery of the structure of DNA, which didn't happen until the 1950's.
Surely it isn't necessary to know the molecular structure of DNA, or even that DNA is the hereditary material, to appreciate that random mutations exist.

Re: Where is the end, if there is no beginning?
Are you using a computer program to translate your thoughts from your native language into English?

Re: Where is the end, if there is no beginning?
Yes, I am forced to use the Google translator
An Indian, I assume from your username.
You may do better to try to put your thoughts into English yourself. Automatic translators aren't all that good. It's OK searching for particular words, but if you have any English at all you'll probably do the grammar better than any machine will.
