PBO: “you cannot show a new species by experiment since it takes a gazillion years”

Definitely not true. I think it’s yehudayona who referred to types of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can develop VERY quickly. Remember MRSA? How long did that take to develop? Because yes, that is a new species- the bacteria has completely different properties.

I could also go into endosymbiotic theory and phylogenies, which show how different species are related due to how many structures and functions they share due to evolution, but let me just say that when the College Board set up evolution as one of the four “Big Ideas” in their new curriculum, they had reasons. It’s EXTRAORDINARLY important.
