"Recently, I was watching President Bush speak on the potential bird flu epidemic. Pandemic bird flu is exactly a question of evolutionary biology because grave danger will come only if the virus evolves into a form that can spread from human to human.
Of course, Bush couldn't use the word evolution. There were a few key points where I was waiting for him to use the word. Nope! The virus would "develop" the ability to move from.."
Yep, that would be a problem if the President accidentally used the word evolution - that would cost him politically.

Really, this is quite interesting. A great leap forwards in science...
But why did you pick FRUIT FLIES?! Those hideous things live long enough already!

And these fruit flies have evolved into what?, other than different kinds of flies.
FYI, I am not a religious crackpot.

Through selective breeding, Dr. Rose was able to create a long-lived line of creatures he called Methuselah flies. He then put his research into reverse and developed flies with much shortened life spans ... All this was accomplished within 12 generations by accelerating the evolutionary processes in a laboratory setting. Oh, brother. Are we back to fruitflies again? What a pantload.
1st graders repeat after me:
"selective breeding = artificial selection"
VERY GOOD CLASS! Now, repeat after me:
"artificial selection does NOT equal evolution!"
VERY GOOD, CLASS!
Out of all the hundreds of thousands of generations of fruit flies bred to study "evolution" we still have .... fruit flies.

Twelve generations? Don't see how that will do me any good?

I'll believe evolution is the sole source of life when the scientists are able to show me how random lightening can creat a self-breeding cell.
