Also, hate to burst your bubble, but no one has read about Darwin's sutdy here at

The principles of evolution by natural selection are finally beginning to inform medicine
If you don't understand Darwins Study, maybe you could have a read of the above. It comes from the Scientific Americans website, and includes a good deal of information on what can be observed today using evolutionary principles. Strains of bacteria, like Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have all become more resistant to antibiotics.
What is interesting is that through Darwins work and the ToE, we can begin to understand what is happening. Or maybe you have a better explanation?
