So will you retract your claim that evolutionary theory isn’t very important, since it has helped us explain why antibiotic resistance develops within bacterial populations, which is of utmost medical importance.
This doesn’t make sense. Mutations,
natural selection, genetic drift, exaptation, horizontal gene transfer and others contribute to the evolution of antibiotic resistance. These are the same processes that drive evolution on a grander scale. If you accept that evolutionary theory (not darwinism) explains antibiotic resistance, then you have accepted evolutionary theory in toto.
You accept “micro-changes” huh? Go to a natural history museum and look at hominin/d (I forget) fossils and you see microevolution until we get to homo sapiens, do you accept that?
God doesn’t need to come down to tell you the holocaust happened, as there are reliable ways to know it happened. There are reliable ways to investigate the natural history of all life on earth and those methods scream that evolution happened.
Macroevolution is microevolution plus microevolution plus microevolution plus plenty time. Since you accept microevolution, then you have accepted macroevolution. Speciation is a macroevolutionary process and new viral or bacterial “species” emerge occasionally, isn’t this medically important?
Its true that the evolutionary history of bacteria which lived billions of years ago would most likely be of little medical importance to us. However, we can trace the origins and propagation of extant pathogenic viruses and bacteria using phylogenetic methods. This was done with HIV and SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19 virus) and today we know a lot about their evolutionary histories. Most importantly this information is important to epidemiologists to enable them track and predict any potential evolutionary trajectories of extant pathogens. Evolution wins again.
