None of the 12 populations in the experiment could.sure. but this isnt what you said here: "Before the change, they could not digest citrate"
So that is indeed a correct statement.
The one (not the other 11!!) population that could, could only do so from generation 31.000-ish onward. And the mutations that made it possible, have been identified.
You can keep arguing about this, but it won't change the facts.
For 31.000 generations, none of the 12 populations could do it.
And then 1 of them could.
Yes.
i talking about all creatures created at once wihtout any common descent. according to your criteria even if its true evolution is still true. you dont see any problem with that situation?
Evolution is a process that factually happens. It's actually observable.
It doesn't matter how life got started. Once life exists, it evolves.
It's an inevitable process when you have systems that reproduce with modification and are in competition with one another over limited resources....
