of the perfect mechanism created for the exchange of this informa-
tion.
2. Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics survive; those with-
out resistant genes die, but no truly new species emerges. Since on-
ly non-resistant bacteria die, bacteria with resistance multiply into
a more numerous strain of the same bacterium. The proponents of
Darwinism refer to this change as "micro-evolution" and claim that
this constitutes a small step in the large-scale speciation known as
macro-evolution. However, as you can see, bacteria handing on an-
tibiotic-resistant genes to other bacteria is not an evolutionary
mechanism. In order for this to constitute evidence for evolution,
this exchange would have to add new information to the organ-
ism's DNA. Yet as the result of exchange, the bacterium does not ac-
quire immunity. The resistance already exists within its DNA.
3. In all the mutations evolutionists put forward as beneficial,
the mutation has actually caused the organism to lose information,
and become damaged. Evolutionists have therefore found them-
selves in a major impasse in trying to explain how mutations add
useful information to the data bank of DNA.
The fact that bacteria possess such
features is a major cause of concern in
the doomsday scenarios recently
THE MICROWORLD MIRACLE A single bacterium, the size of which is meas-
drawn by scientists such as Stephen
ured in microns, can develop instantaneous
and expert solutions to all the precautionary
measures it takes human beings years to find.
This fact poses a major dilemma for evolu-
106 tionists, who believe in coincidences.
