It also does not help explain what happened in the dish.
What happened in the dish was very clear. Some of the bacteria gained a mutation that provided resistance to the virus. These bacteria came to dominate the population because of natural selection. Then the virus mutated to counteract the bacteria's resistance.
In other words there was a change in allele frequencies in not one but two populations (the bacteria and the virus.) That's two evolutions for the price of one.
It's the only explanation because anything else is contradicted by the evidence. There's no contradictions, just facts. That evolution occured in that dish - twice - is
fact.
But as usual scientists will always pick the evidences that suit thier model of life.
Not everybody's like you, Riverrat. Not all scientists are as dishonest as creationists.
