2. Well, you can see the need for developing new treatments to combat bacteria becoming resistant to our drugs however you want. But how about the transformation of acidophobe to acidophile of e-coli? That is a huge evolution, especially for 40,000 generations in a shorter time scale with an evolution much larger than just becoming drug resistant.

I thought I read something these e-coli has loss some of it's ability to repair it's DNA so they couldn't survive outside the lab. This is like winning a million dollar in a lottery after you bought 10 million dollars of tickets. If this is huge evolution it seems to be a huge loss. It's the same with our influnce over animals. In some ways they change for the better yet at the other hand they could not survive out in the wild.
