Okay, the evolution topic has turned into something too rarified and too frenetic for my taste. Especially since it's, after all, only academic.
So... let's discuss something with real repercussions: the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through improper, inadequate, and even proper usage of antibiotics and other antimicrobials. To my knowledge, this is not a point of debate any more (much like global warming), but rather an established fact. What that means is that everyone should either consider it an unimportant threat, be very concerned about it, or have a "not in my lifetime" stance.
Where do you stand?
