The emergence of antibiotic resistance is one of them
Another myth that has been carried on by evolutionist, read:

"Some microorganisms are endowed with genes that grant resistance to these antibiotics. This resistance can take the form of degrading the antibiotic molecule or of ejecting it from the cell... The organisms having these genes can transfer them to other bacteria making them resistant as well. Although the resistance mechanisms are specific to a particular antibiotic, most pathogenic bacteria have... succeeded in accumulating several sets of genes granting them resistance to a variety of antibiotics"-biophysicist Lee Spetner

Its most certainly not evolution:

"The acquisition of antibiotic resistance in this manner... is not the kind that can serve as a prototype for the mutations needed to account for Evolution… The genetic changes that could illustrate the theory must not only add information to the bacterium's genome, they must add new information to the biocosm. The horizontal transfer of genes only spreads around genes that are already in some species"-biophysicist Lee Spetner

As you can see the genetic information that already exists is simply transferred between bacteria, most certainly not a mechanism of evolution.

Time to get out the beating stick. I know what SSA causes, notice that I was talking about the carriers, the hetereozygous. The homozygous of the mutant gene do indeed suffer greatly and will die but the carriers do have increased malaria resistance compared to normal Haemoglobin humans.
It's a statistical fact that the prevalence of SSC gene is greater in malaria inflicted areas than anywhere else. How do you go about explaining this?
By the way, do you know how many different mutations we've record thus far that causes SSA? I'll leave that be as your homework.
lol, show me the mutations that cause SSA and your logic is already flawed about SSA as I adressed it in my previous post.

You claimed that E. coli hadn't changed since several hundred millions of years ago, do you have the data to prove this? Do you have DNA from that era to compare? How did E. coli adapt to its new challenges? How did it become so good at living in our gut when you claim that the organism is hundreds of millions of years old but we humans are barely several hundred thousands?
My source of E.Coli:

Pierre-Paul Grassé, Evolution of Living Organisms,
