Bacteria Overcoming Antibiotics on a “Mega-Plate” Petri Dish
In a creative stroke inspired by Hollywood wizardry, scientists have designed a simple way to observe how bacteria move as they become impervious to drugs. The experiments are thought to provide the first large-scale glimpse of the maneuvers of bacteria as they encounter increasingly higher doses of antibiotics and adapt to survive—and thrive—in them.

The
headline is deceiving it surprises me that the Editor
of Transcend would not challenge it.
It’s funny to see these guys marvelling over a process that only exists
in their imaginations.
1. What are they when they started? Bacteria. What are they when they
finished? Bacteria. So bacteria evolved into bacteria?? Evolution has to
be a change of kinds from one kind of organism to another, so where is
this shown?
2. Where is the evolution of simple to complex? Is that not what
evolution is claiming? These bacteria do not evolve, they do the same as
we see in every form of life, that is a loss of part of our genetic
instructions from one generation to the next. The degradation of the
genetic instructions is not uniform, so of the great many generations of
bacteria that multiplied in the beginning, some of them had genetic
code that was damaged. Those ones which were not affected by the single
antibiotic they chose to use (but are affected by a different
antibiotic) and that is why they can continue to multiply. So did the
bacteria gain any new genetic information in order to survive? No, all
we see is loss of genetic information, so no evolution process here
either.
3. Organisms that are not harmed by an antibiotic, or pesticide, or
herbicide or whatever will live, no matter how much dosage you want to
spray on it. So increasing the dosage from the ends of the plate to the
middle doesn’t mean a thing. Either the agent kills it or not, whatever
the dose. So pour as much roundup on a resistant weed as you want, you
will still see that weed in the field even though the other weeds die.
So increasing the dosage doesn’t show any evolution either..
4. This experiment visualisation is flawed because they have
artificially created an environment that has no competition. So the
bacteria that mutated is allowed to prosper because there are no other
competitors in the environment to use the available food, water, space
etc. Competitors rob that resistant bacteria of these things and the
small percentage of those resistant bacteria are not so free to multiply
because some of the generations will die to competitors. In real life
there are competitors and also our bodies expell materials to help
remove those generations that are resistant. So this closed system
visualisation is lacking the reality of conditions we see in the real
world. So again, we don’t see any bacteria evolving new traits to win
over against competing bacteria, there are no competitors at all.. and
they are given an artificially favourable environment in which to
survive.
This kind of article is typical, lots of whoop up over something that
only exists in their imagination. No new kind of organism, no new
genetic information, and experiments that do not represent the factors
of the real world. They will be off in the wrong direction because of
their evolutionery brainwashing, and this only delays progress because
they imagine processes that don’t exist and try to formulate defenses
against it. Scientists who understand there is no such mechanism as
evolution will spend their time on real evidence and will reach
solutions faster and not chasing their imaginations. Evolutionists
holds back real scientific progress.They need to comprehend that there
is a difference
between evolution and adaptation.
