Do you have any sense of how these people reconciled their understanding of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with their denial of evolution? (I assume they are aware of the mechanics of how antibiotic-resistant bacterial populations develop.)

The creationist movement will have explanations for this. They also have explanations for fossils, for distant galaxies, etc. Keep in mind the movement has the support of a significant percentage of the US population and there are numerous "research" institutes around the country. Many of them are very skilled debaters who can lead the unwary into traps.

I just googled "creationist explain antibiotic resistance". Wow. But it would be fun to talk to some of these people!

Trust me, it's not fun. Its a land of denial, self-deception and complete frustration!

They also have a different explanation for cosmology as well. It's not just evolution they are against. Many also believe that all these extrasolar planets we are finding are myths.
