Of course evolution can´t be brought together with the book of Genesis.
The "death" of bacterias was no death, because I can´t remember bacterias being considered as living beings anywhere in scripture.
Normally people don´t speak or think of the death of bacterias...

What is the link between dying bacteria and evolution?

To rephrase that: the scripture doesn't speak of the death of a lot of animals, therefore they do not die.

I don't know where you are from, but here in The Netherlands we talk about killing the germs/bacteria in disinfectant commercials, daily life and biology class.
"The "death" of bacterias was no death, because I can´t remember bacterias being considered as living beings anywhere in scripture."
Maybe it's because bacteria were completely unknown to the uneducated, superstitious nomads who wrote the Bible. That would explain all the other fantasies in Genesis as well. These people believed evil spirits and demons were the causes of illness. We've known better than that for over a hundred years.
Isn't about time you got an education?
I'm guessing this is essentially because the Old Testament was written up to 2500 years before Louis Pasteur proved illness wasn't the wrath of God, and all those things 'God' said, weren't actually true - or said by 'God'.
People drop dead all the time (a handful per second, by some rough calculations), yet I don't think about the death of people all the time. Ergo, humans are immortal.
“The "death" of bacterias was no death, because I can´t remember bacterias being considered as living beings anywhere in scripture.”
That’s correct. Only things that breathe through their nostrils are alive and ONLY after they start breathing. Many biblical examples. “..and god’s breath entered him and he became a living being.’
So, plants aren’t alive. Or fish. And probably not whales unless you can convince bible authors that the blowhole is the nostril.
Bacteria don’t live.
So that means the Flood didn’t, couldn’t kill the insects on the Earth. Or the plant matter. Starfish, shellfish.
Babies aren’t ‘alive’ until their first breath, so biblically, abortion isn’t murder.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
