"Cite the experiments and tell us what new creature was developed."

Pay attention, I did cite the example. Just Google the Drosophila experiments. I am aware of at least two new species of fruit flies that have been created in the lab. Dr. William Rice and Dr. G.W. Salt bred created the Drosophila melanogaster strain and Dr. Diane Dodd was also able to show speciation by reproductive isolation in Drosophila pseudoobscura fruit flies. The proof that they are new species is that these new species are not able to breed with the original species.

There are numerous other examples of successful allopatric speciation in the lab. You can find examples of sympatric speciation in the literature as well.

If they're new species, as opposed to variations of fruit flies, then why are they called fruit flies?

Does that make a Chihuahua and Great Dane different species?

Wolves and dogs are technically different species and can interbreed freely.

Designating something as a different specie in a bid to find support for the ToE is intellectually dishonest.

They're still stinking fruit flies.

Wow. First things first, I found it humorous that Natural Law said you should keep your opinions to yourself and leave the science to the scientists, or something to that effect. It sure tickles me to see liberals choose that course: A. clueless to your background and B. the Sir-project-alot sweepstakes are still going strong! And what's up with that non-sensical tagline!? Oh wait, I get it, it makes perfect sense to liberals. Nevermind! when you google the drosophila experiments metmom, throw in the word "controversy", and you'll no DOUBT have the answers you're looking for! LOL I enjoyed this site...no arguing that it's a definite scientific site either! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC556281/ I don't know about you, but it starts about a quarter or so ways down the page and what continuously pops up on my screen is the word "MUTATION" time and time again...and there's this gem when evolution actually DOES finally appear in the argument/article: If mutational properties do not differ substantially among strains, it would imply that they have been conserved over at least 100 million years of evolution and is consistent with the idea the mutation rate has been optimized over the course of evolution (6). Conversely, the existence of significant genetic variation in the mutational process, at any hierarchical level, does not rule out the possibility that the mutation rate is optimized, but it obviously argues against the existence of a globally conserved optimal mutation rate. Ascertaining the causes of genetic variation would require further investigation. Here, we report results after ≈200 generations of MA. What a hoot these libtards are! LOL
