From what the article implied, although it wasn't clearly stated, it sounded like the scientists played a role in this breeding.
That would merely be intelligent design all over again.
Of course, with the definition of *species* being so elastic and vague, it's easy to *prove* that a *new species* has *evolved*.
This is all true. Of course, it keeps coming back to the fact that there was no new species.
Not that intelligent, unfortunately. Intelligent design would allow for the evolution of viable species. I realize that the "science" of Intelligent Design does not allow for evolution, but I see no reason why it shouldn't. The idea that a divine entity could design a plan that, once set in motion, could evolve into a universe of almost infinite complexity, only makes the concept of that Creator even more awesome.
