The “evolution” of bacteria within it’s preset limits as intelligently designed by God is not equivalent to life “evolving” from nothing. The idea of DNA codes writing themselves by pure chance and improving more often than destabalizing is absurd. The contemporary theory of punctuated equilibrium holds that natural catastrophes combined with random mutations naturally select the mutations taht would improve a species. If this were true, natural selection today would lead to a general increase of variation rather than extinction. There is one way to test if punctuated equilibrium works: nuke the planet. This will both provide a catastrophe, as well as a mechanism for random mutation.
