Full disclosure: I’ve pretty much only heard arguments for YE Creationism and would disagree with you on that BUT I have long wished to find someone who DIDN’T and still believes in the inerrancy of Scripture and God’s great love and power and EVERYTHING. Because I really want to know what has led them to a different conclusion (not to argue, but to know more fun stuff!). So finding your blog is a delight. 😁.

Therefore, I submit to you 🧬 to ask for cool facts!!

I'm so glad that you're here <3

Alright, since you're coming from a YE Creationist background, let me show you a video of evolution actually occurring on camera. This is beautiful.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the easiest to demonstrate types of microbial evolution, and it's incredibly harmful. Yet every time I see this simple demonstration, I'm bowled over with the beauty of it all over again.

This is the raw power of descent with modification for you. Each time the bacteria on this plate come up against a stronger concentration of antibiotic, there's a lag until somewhere, among the millions and millions of bacteria on the plate, a mutation arrives that can combat it. For argument's sake, maybe a tiny change in amino acid sequence leads to a more efficient efflux pump to remove the antibiotic from the cell. And then that cell replicates clonally, and its descendants spread across the dish, and then it comes up against the next boundary and it happens all over again.

And of course, the crazy thing is that each of the individual mutations that allow the bacteria to overcome the antibiotic is completely novel. No two are the same. When these researchers ran genetic sequencing on the bacteria that were able to colonize each subsequent region of the plate, they confirmed this. The various new strains that met up in the middle of the plate were all different.

The raw power of random mutation + time is incredible. Nature is endlessly inventive because God is endlessly inventive.

Protein sequence space is enormous. How enormous? There are more possible configurations for a protein 100 amino acids long than there are atoms in the universe. Every time antibiotic resistance evolves, it happens all new.

Even though antibiotic resistance is definitely a bad thing for humans, it reminds me of the verse in Lamentations that says, "His mercies are new every morning." It reminds me of Chesterton's observations about God's infinite attention span. Like a child, each time saying, "Do it again."
