natural nylon exists now What makes you think it doesn't? It's not as if it's made from some element that didn't exist on earth before 1935.

What we have here with the example of nylonase just shows that evolution can be observed as it occurs. This contradicts creationist claims no new information can be added to a genome by mutation or that proteins are too complex to evolve through a process of mutation and Natural Selection. Boom, what a shocker. (you keep losing again & again with just a spectacular record here) The evolution of the enzymes, known as nylonase, produced by nylon-eating bacteria was a compelling argument against the claim made by intelligent design proponents that specified complexity required an intelligent designer, since nylonase function was both specified and complex. [10] The intelligent design proponent William Dumbski ( the wussy whiner) posted a response that questioned whether the genetic changes that produced nylonase were complex enough to be considered specified complexity. [11] Ken Miller said that intelligent design proponents claim that we can't see either design or evolution taking place and that therefore intelligent design and evolution are both just matters of faith or world view. However, Miller said, the evolution of the enzyme nylonase, which scientists were able to repeat in the lab with another strain of bacteria, is one of a number of cases that show that evolution can be observed as it occurs.
