[[Image:Bacterial cell.png|right|200px]]'''Bacteria ''' are an order of lifesingle-celled microorganisms lacking a [[nucleus]] or any other membrane-bound organelles. Like all other living creaturesModern [[pathology]] and [[medicine]] are based on the findings of [[Louis Pasteur]] and later [[Robert Koch]] and [[Charles Laveran]] that bacteria cause many ailments, but most microbes, they were created by in agreement with the LORD at benevolent nature of the beginning [[Creator]], are actually beneficial to man and nature.<ref name="AiG Bacteria">[http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/arj/v1/n1/microbes-days-of -creation Microbes and the universeDays of Creation], Answers: Research Journal.</ref> Bible scholars have dated their creation between Day 3 and 6 during Creation Week.<ref name="AiG Bacteria"/>
During the Flood, all creatures including all the bacteria were gathered onto the Ark ==Morphology of Noah, as described in [[Genesis]]. The modern bacteria are all descendents of the bacteria baramin that left the Ark with all other creatures after the Flood (Genesis 7:8-9).Bacteria==
Science has not conclusively proven that bacteria Bacteria are usually surrounded by a cell wall consisting of [[peptidoglycan]], and are filled with cytoplasm. Ribosomes within the cause cytoplasm are responsible for translating the circular bundle of many DNA into functional proteins. Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, have tightly packed inner membrane folds, which forms a membrane across which photosynthesis can occur.<ref>http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/bacteriamm.html</ref> ==Bacteria and Disease== Bacterial [[disease]] was a source of fear for humankind for most of [[history]]. This fear was largely abated by the development of [[antibiotic]] drugs in the last half of the 1900s. The general impression was that most bacterial diseasescould be cured, relatively quickly and easily. Much But bacteria gain resistance to certain types of "pathology" conjectures antibiotics, making their continued treatment in a recurrent infection difficult at times.<ref>[http://www.chemheritage.org/educationalservices/pharm/antibiot/readings/evolve.htm antibiot-readings]</ref> However, this is not evidence for the [[theory of evolution]], since the bacteria do not change from one type to another. They only gain or lose a few genes involved in the antibiotic, and no new information is created, in this process known as [[microevolution]] or adaptation. Bacterial disease is becoming a more serious medical problem, particularly in hospitals which tend to harbor a population of drug-resistant bacteria. ==Bacteria and Society== Bacteria are tiny one-celled organisms present throughout the environment that require a microscope to be seen. The vast majority of bacteria are able not harmful to human beings. Many of them are normally found on or in the human body, and not only do not cause disease, but provide some benefit. For example, the human diseasesgut normally contain a complement of ''intestinal flora'' which assist digestion. Some food products involve bacteria in their production. [[Sour cream]], [[buttermilk]], [[yogurt]], and some kinds of [[cheese]] contain living cultures of live bacteria when eaten. Vinegar is traditionally produced by the growth of the ''Acetobacter'' bacterium in wine. ([[Wine]] itself is produced, not by bacteria, but there by [[yeast]], which is insufficient data to support this hypothesisalso a [[microorganism]] that is classified as a [[fungi]].) While not all bacteria are harmful, some cause disease. The technical term for these is ''pathogenic'' bacteria (''pathogenic'' being nothing more than a combination of the Greek roots for "disease" and "causing"). Examples of bacterial disease include diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, ''Haemophilus influenza'' and pneumococcus (pneumonia). ==See also==*[[Acinetobacter]]*[[Drug resistance]]*[[Lactobacillus]]*[[Microbe]] == References ==<references/>[[Category:Microbiology]]
