In virtually none of the experiments summarized by Behe was there the possibility of adapting the way that many bacteria and viruses actually adapt in nature: by the uptake of DNA from other microbes. Lenski's studies of E. coli, for instance, and Bull's work on phage evolution, deliberately preclude the front of other species that could function as vectors of DNA, and therefore of new FCTs.
