Do you have any sense of how these people reconciled their understanding of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with their denial of evolution? (I assume they are aware of the mechanics of how antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations develop.)
- IndianAstronaut 12y agoThe creationist movement will have explanations for this. They also have explanations for fossils, for distant galaxies, etc. Keep in mind the movement has the support of a significant percentage of the US population and there are numerous "research" institutes around the country. Many of them are very skilled debaters who can lead the unwary into traps.
