Evolution has been proven wrong in many different areas your tax money should not be paying for it

As a disclaimer, I am religious, Christian, in fact. However, evolution via Natural Selection has most assuredly occurred, and it would be foolish to say it hasn't. The extent of it is not certain, Darwin himself stated in Origin of Species that he was unsure on Man, but minor discrepancies within families of organisms. Look to micro organism and insect adoptions. Specifically, Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as Staph. From the Medical Branch of the University of Texas at Galveston: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... "Hospital strains of S aureus are often resistant to many different antibiotics. Indeed strains resistant to all clinically useful drugs, apart from the glycopeptides vancomycin and teicoplanin, have been described. The term MRSA refers to methicillin resistance and most methicillin-resistant strains are also multiply resistant. Plasmid-associated vancomycin resistance has been detected in some enterococci and the resistance determinant has been transferred from enterococci to S aureus in the laboratory and may occur naturally. S epidermidis nosocomial isolates are also often resistant to several antibiotics including methicillin. In addition, S aureus expresses resistance to antiseptics and disinfectants, such as quaternary ammonium compounds, which may aid its survival in the hospital environment. Since the beginning of the antibiotic era S aureus has responded to the introduction of new drugs by rapidly acquiring resistance by a variety of genetic mechanisms including (1) acquisition of extrachromosomal plasmids or additional genetic information in the chromosome via transposons or other types of DNA insertion and (2) by mutations in chromosomal genes" It is a form of natural selection when Staph acquires resistance to those numerous medicines. The drugs are as effective as ever, it's the organism that is evolving. Moreover, we have seen frequent instances of rapid adapting in insects. From PBS http://www.pbs.org... "It has the menacing sound of an Alfred Hitchcock movie: Millions of rats aren't even getting sick from pesticide doses that once killed them. In one county in England, these "super rats" have built up such resistance to certain toxins that they can consume five times as much poison as rats in other counties before dying. From insect larvae that keep munching on pesticide-laden cotton in the U.S. to head lice that won't wash out of children's hair, pests are slowly developing genetic shields that enable them to survive whatever poisons humans give them. Rachel Carson predicted such resistance in her groundbreaking book Silent Spring, published soon after the chemical insecticide glory days of the 1950s. And the problem is getting worse. Farmers in the U.S. lost about seven percent of their crops to pests in the 1940s. Since the 1980s, some 13 percent of crops are being lost -- and more pesticides are being used. It's a huge problem, but the pests are only following the rules of evolution: the best-adapted survive. Every time chemicals are sprayed on a lawn to kill weeds or ants for example, a few naturally resistant members of the targeted population survive and create a new generation of pests that are poison-resistant. That generation breeds another more-resistant generation; eventually, the pesticide may be rendered ineffective or even kill other wildlife or the very grass it was designed to protect." Once again, demonstrating natural selection of creatures that have adapted and will continue to do so. At this point, you can not deny the existence of evolution, even at a micro-level. As I have stated before, I am Christian, but it would be ignorant of me and indeed anyone to state that natural selection has not occurred. We see it in how illnesses are becoming resistant to medicines (Ask any doctor on drug resistance and you'll get a long list) or insect resistance, as the article has just shown. It has happened, and it will not stop. The question, then, is on what level?
