Comments on: Richard Lenski Provides Evidence of Evolution in Action http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2009/10/21/richard-lenski-provides-evidence-of-evolution-in-action/ by Hemant Mehta Mon, 28 May 2012 09:16:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: John Heininger http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2009/10/21/richard-lenski-provides-evidence-of-evolution-in-action/#comment-595215 John Heininger Mon, 29 Nov 2010 04:21:36 +0000 http://friendlyatheist.com/2009/10/21/richard-lenski-provides-evidence-of-evolution-in-action/#comment-595215 Try reading "The Greatest Hoax on Earth" by Dr Jonathan Sarfati, a point by point refutation of Dawkins' delusions. You will discover that, like any grand performance or show, the Greatest Show on Earth necessitates a grand conductor with all the oversight, perspectives and attributes of deity. Time to start facing reality guys. Nothing comes out at the end that wasn't inherently present at the beginning. In short, its creation and fine tuning all the way, guys.

I'd hate to see a banana and an anti-banana interact. The results would be a tragic loss to science. Also, time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Does that make fruit flies creationists? But I thought we studied evolution in fruit flies. Those little things are deceiving us!

The entirety of this paper is free. As a bonus, it pissed off conservapedia. http://www.pnas.org/content/105/23/7899.full This isn’t the new paper, but one Lenski published a year ago on the same evolution experiment.

I've updated the article to reflect this. Thanks!

It’s not that the experiment is 21 years old, but rather 21-year-long.

In fact, I'd say that was the whole point of this paper. It's actually really exciting. For some reason I hadn't been following these publications very closely but now that Lenski has said something about my domain...

If you live near a college or University, there are probably public computers in the university library where you can view the full PDF of that article and any others from journals that the University subscribes to for free. Then if you happen to have a little USB thumb drive.... (assuming the IT department hasn't locked the computers down so they can't save content) One other tip.
