Yes, it's amazing and defies logic but most evolutionists seem to be perfectly fine with it. It bothers me that intelligent people believe in this theory so easily. I have been aware of this for a long time, namely that lack of bacterial evolution strongly talks against modern evolutionary theory. |
I haven't been to school for 15 years and even back then I completely sucked at biology. But I think I still remember a plausible explanation:
Bacteria reproduce asexually, their "children" are genetic clones. Thus they are completely missing one of the three pillars of evolution (mutation, selection and recombination), namely recombination. As far as I remember, evolution was very slow until the "invention" of genders/sexual reproduction anyway.
