The different lines of bacteria developed immunity to the bacteriophage at different times, i.e. randomly. Some lines developed it early, some developed it later and some didn't develop it at all. The mutations did not occur in response to future need and happened at random times. |
That's not what he's asking, rossum. He wants us to prove that God, acting in mysterious ways his wonders to perform, didn't create the history of mutations in a manner indistinguishable from randomness. God can do whatever the hell he likes, and he's sneaky that way.
So we'd probably need to separate the strains into two right at the start, and put a big sign above one group saying "Dear God: Please act, in mysterious ways your wonders to perform, non-randomly over here."
