| Quote (afdave @ May 25 2006,12:52) | | I submit to you that if you don't think evolutionists think that antibiotic resistant bacteria lend support to macroevolutionary theory (which some people pretend they don't know what we're talking about with this term), then you are simply lying. It's plain as day in the popular literature which in turn is based on information from scientists like you. |
Dave, do you understand the difference between "lends support to the theory," and "proves the theory" (no one piece of evidence "proves" the theory of evolution)?
Furthermore, do you even understand the difference between microevolution and macroevolution? How could bacterial resistance possibly lend support to macroevolutionary theory, when it's not even an example of macroevolution? Think, Dave, think.
This isn't rocket science, Dave. Or even jet science, for that matter.

Nice try, Dave. You deliberately misrepresent your opponent's argument, shoot down that argument (kinda, sorta, but not really), and then claim victory.
This is what's known as a "straw man" argument, and it's kind of frowned upon around here.
