I also believe in science do not deny, misrepresent or attempt to stop

Oh boy, another True Believer! Do you really have the courage of your
convictions, though? If you REALLY don't believe in evolution, you should
make
sure and tell your doctor(if you go to doctors, that is) in the event you
ever
get an infection, that you want him to prescribe nothing but sulfa drugs
for
you. Sulfa drugs worked just fine for infections when they were developed.
They
should work just fine now, unless the germs have evolved. Go ahead. Make
their
day.

I don't get antibiotics often, but even so, my doctor has an interesting
system. If, for instance, I have a sinus infection and he feels any of 3
drugs will work, he always refers to my records, alternates drugs, and
prescribes the one I had in the MOST distant past. His reasoning is
precisely what you stated.

But, Sheila will tell us that the concept of drug-resistant germs is nothing
but junk science.

Boy, you guys just don't get it! Of course germs become resistant to
drugs, that is a far cry from the whole theory of evolution.

Wrong. That is the whole POINT of the whole theory of evolution. It's the reason
we don't bother with sulfa drugs any more. Next time you go to the drug store
try to find some sulfa drugs, so when you get an infection you won't have to
bother going to a doctor. Even better, just forget about all that junk science
and find a good old fashioned doctor who might be willing to do some trepanning
for you and let those evil demons out of your skull.



Like I said before, you guys hold on to your beliefs and I'll hold on to
mine.
