Nonsense, antibiotics were around a long time before Darwin. For example Arab horse boys used "penicillin" to treat saddle sores on horses for a long time. If anything give them credit for antibotics, not Darwin. Evolution had nothing to do with it at all.

Penicillin? Before Darwin? While it is true that ancient Greeks used molds to treat infection, they had no idea why it worked, and it was by no means 'penicillin', an isolated compound.
Huh? So now he thinks that Darwin is credited with other major scientific accomplishments as well? What next, credit Darwin with heliocentrism and relativity theory? What is he trying to do, pretend (or even actually claim) that "Darwin" is just some kind of synonym or pen name for ANY scientist of note?

Mould, perhaps. Not penicillin, which wasn't isolated until world war 2.

No. Don't give either credit for antibiotics, as neither discovered them. However, many bacteria have evolved to many antibiotics.

Flemming discovered penicillin in the 20's, long after Darwin recited his theory. What they used for the horses was a kind of ointment, whose name resembles. Antibiotics are, in case you´re wondering, you stupid moron, anti-biotics(bio=life, that is bacteriae), not saddles, because saddles are just the product of too much trottering.
JohnR7 been featured here a lot, he's got this stupid and unsupportable bias that all science and knowledge derive from the Bible. That all scientific goodness is God-Inspired.
His evidence? Real weak shit like the Bible suggest you wash your hands, hence germ theory and not of course rotting flesh being known to be ill making or cultures surrounding them having fresh water and sewage infrastructures. He will ignore thousands of years of documented history to claim Biblical foreknowledge and of course to slam any threat to it's claim, even Christians like Darwin.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
