Hey, even if bacteria "mutates" as you call it (why do you call it this instead of evolve?), they're still bacteria right? They're not some other species or animal, right?

I'm not in that particular area. I'm thinking it's most likely a form of natural selection. But I could be wrong.

Either way, it's a very weak way of supporting the evolution of man, whales, and other beasts of the earth.
We have bacteria as integral parts of our bodies. Mitochondria, for example. Without mitochondria there would be no such thing as the Krebs cycle, which is what allows you to use your slow twitch muscle fibers (a muscle fiber that only allows use of less then 60% of your total capable workload).
