The bacteria argument is EASY. Mutations sometimes have some beneficial results. No change of specie has ever been recorded, just a benefit like resistance to chemical that that specie is normally not resistant too. But resistance to a chemical is not upward evolution just as a human born with no hands is not happy about their mutation untill they are being arrested and the cops cant put handcuffs on this person. This is plain truth. It's incredible that whenever a valid answer is given, the only recourse is to attack personally and label someone a religious zealot. Should I just have labeled your cut and paste guy as an anti-god zealot? Deal with the information.

You will find this more and more that creationists are marginalized because of their scientific findings. We all have the SAME evidence. We also all have a WORLD VIEW. That world view determines the way we interpret evidence.

The best way I can explain this is.... Mutations are a LOSS of information. There is NEVER a GAIN of information. As explained above this LOSS of information sometimes results in beneficial results. The fantasy of upward evolution requires an GAIN of information.
