51. Incorect, this IS an example of evolution.
Spisificly, of natral selection, one of the engenes of change that forces orgnisesm to evalve from one form, to another.

Your argument however that this dosn't produce a new spesies of orginisems is a straw man. Creatonists have created the consepts of "macro-evolution" and "micro-evolution." This is not a bioligists term.

Speceation only takes place when a pannel of scientists decided that their are enugh difrences between two simuler orgnisems to warent their clasifation. In other words, it is an artifichal term.

If I can show you one active mutation, that seceation is nothing more than the acumulation of a number of simuler mutations. Nothing more.

So yes, resistant bactirea is an example of evolution.

Ironicly, it is an example that most creatonists have condeaded too. That is why the created the term "macro-evolution." As if to say "Okay, we give up on natral selection, but orgnisems do not evalve from one spicies to another." To which bioligists answer - "What is the difrence?"
