Have you ever seen resistance to penicillin happen? Now I don't know if you're a doctor, or a nurse, or so on. But if you were not then the only way I could imagine that you come to that conclusion is because someone told you.
I want proof that the Earth orbits the Sun, and I will not accept 'so and so said this' because in that case, 'Abraham said this, Moses said that'. It's the same thing.

You're being rather silly don't you think? Acting as though the statements of thousands of peer-reviewed scientists, who's methods and reasoning were made available for scrutiny, is no more trust worthy than the word of people 2,000 years ago who claimed an invisible man came down and told them stuff? And of course we have to take into account the fact that the stuff this invisible guy told them was handed down mainly by word of mouth for 1,450 years (and that's just the new testament. The old testament was told orally even longer) until Mr. Gutenberg invented the printing press so people could get hold of bibles.
Ever play a game of telephone? If you can't get the same message passed down through 25 people, how the hell are people supposed to keep the message intact for over a millenium?
If you're making a serious argument here, you need to rethink your position.
If you're being facetious then it's too transparent.
