...without evolution, of course. Quite funny the hoops they have to jump
through! Here's an article from one of the funniest web sites on the net:
Answers in Genesis!

-------------

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has captured national
headlines. In the fall of 2007, the CDC (Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta) reported that deaths due to MRSA were greater than those caused by
AIDS. MRSA is rapidly becoming one of the most prevalent and menacing diseases
of our time and increases the risk of time spent in a hospital.

MRSA are bacteria that represent “new” strains of antibiotic resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (Figure 1). Although the media discusses MRSA as a
single new strain, in reality MRSA represents more than 1100 distinct strains
of S. aureus (Wim and Neeling 2005). S. aureus causes many diseases,
including skin boils, infection of leg ulcers, and pressure sores.
Occasionally, it
can cause more serious disorders such as blood poisoning (septicemia),
pneumonia, or bone, joint, or heart valve infection. What makes MRSA bacteria
deadly is their resistance to penicillin and its derivatives.

Methicillin is a penicillin derivative that was issued in clinics in most
countries in 1959–60, but its use was discontinued after 1961 due to
resistant strains appearing. Unfortunately, resistance has increased
dramatically
since 2000. These bacteria are now categorized as Hospital-Associated MRSA
(HA-MRSA) and Community-Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) depending upon the
disease acquisition location.

Yet, we read in Genesis Chapter 1 that God made everything “very good.”
If everything that God made was good, where did MRSA come from? What is the
origin of this frightening germ? Where does MRSA or “Super Staph” fit in
to the creation account? Were they created along with the rest of the life
in the first week of Creation or were they created later—after the Fall? Is
MRSA a result of the “Curse”? These and other questions have been asked by
professional creation microbiologists (Francis 2003; Gillen 2007; Gillen
2008). Their answers may surprise you.

The purpose of this article is to provide a reasonable explanation for the
genesis of MRSA (“Super Staph”). Microbiology research based on the
creation paradigm appears to provide some answers to these puzzling questions
regarding the Staphylococcus “kind” (Family Micrococcidae). Although I
cannot be dogmatic (beyond the biblical text) regarding details of microbe
origin during creation week, I believe that a reasonable extrapolation from
Scripture and biological data can be made about the nature of microbes in a
fully mature creation. Diligent research by past creation biologists such as
Leeuwenhoek, Pasteur, and Lister, were blessed by God as He revealed (Psalm
139:17) to them critical insight into His creation (Gillen and Sherwin
2008).
