They look like very elegant experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read the blog though and it is laughable. This wasn't evolution it was adaptation. The E-Coli bacterium remained E-Coli and adapted to it's environment. Given the lack of citrate and the overall manipulation of the Scientists, (whom we could relate to a sort of demi-god in this situation), the E-Coli would probably revert back to eating the base sugars it was eating before. If the E-Coli sprouts legs and starts to have an intelligent conversation or even becomes something more than simply E-Coli bacterium, call me. Peace, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I didn't know that. It doesn't say that in the Terms of Service. Since the site was apparently problematic, I'll repost the text from the article without linking to the site. That OK?

You're mistaken. The citrate is a product of the digestion of sugars. The E. coli was digesting the sugars, so there wasn't a lack of citrate. Interesting to hear your opinion on science, though.

This crosses over from lab science into theoretical history. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of silly to edit out any links that go against your (plural/general) worldview? It just makes it seem like you're scared of the information presented.

A site that is designed to defend evolution and the belief that this is how we all started, instead of being created by a loving God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
