Where in that paper does it say these bacteria could not have evolved? en.wikipedia.org There is scientific consensus that the capacity to synthesize nylonase most probably developed as a single-step mutation that survived because it improved the fitness of the bacteria possessing the mutation. More importantly: The enzyme involved has been produced by a mutation completely randomizing the original gene. Despite this, the new gene still had a novel, albeit weak, catalytic capacity. This is seen as a good example of how mutations easily can provide the raw material for evolution by natural selection. It seems to me that you are declaring this to be either controversial or unexpected. I don't see anything that you report that is not normal. It's as if you are shocked that evolution implies that things change, when that is the whole idea behind evolution.
