In a nutshell CTD, I was giving you the definition of natural selection, and your whole post amounts to nothing more than an argument from incredulity with attempts at distraction thrown in. Please explain, referring to the definition I gave and using specific examples, why you believe it is wrong, and why the research evidence from the link I posted does not in your opinion show natural selection. Include the cultures that were developed as clones from a single bacterium and which showed adaptations to their environment; the bacteria that had their lactose-digesting gene removed, which in subsequent generations were again able to digest lactose; and the bacteria which can digest nylon, a recently human-made substance.
