Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.
dang flies...bet they come from SOTB!
What? This is news? We all evolved from one, single, solitary ancestor! People, Maple Trees, Bats, Alge, we all have the same ancestor. My biology teacher told me so and said that any questioning of that was bunk and those people were religious lunatics so don't listen to them.
This has been settled, stop debating and disproving it!!!

Thanks for posting the interesting article! I always wondered what studying all those generations of fruit flies were good for!
For a second I thought she was the new species.
Thsi has always been a mystery to me they say flies lay eggs or do they come from Maggots?

Fly eggs
Fly eggs. Photo: R. Major Flies lay eggs that are usually long and thin in shape, often resembling miniature rice grains. They are pale yellow or white in colour and usually laid in masses, although some species lay single eggs. In many species, females will lay up to 250 eggs in one sitting and can lay up to five clutches during their life.

Were those fruit fly studies in high school biology?
The question is: when you set out rotten fruit in a seemingly sealed room how do the fruit flies get there?
Do the fruit flies appear because they are attracted to the rotten fruit or do the fruit fly eggs live in rotten fruit and just hatch: spontaneous eruption?
That's a highly likely possibility, of course.

My guess is some how maggots form from rotten food and some come by fly eggs which it could be attached to the fruits you buy and not be aware of it!
So who will be the first to ignore the definition of "species" and stammer "but they're still fruit flies!"?
And this conflicts with Genesis how?

"That just shows MICRO-evolution - it doesn't prove anything! You have no proof that this isn't just a genetically pre-existing variation in kind being expressed! You have no evidence this variation wasn't built into the Design! You must be an Atheist and Communist to believe this is actually Evil-ution!"
drat! I forgot to use that one.
And here I thought I was the new species........
That's nothing. There's a certain creationist who stalks me on these speciation threads, and seems to hold me personally responsible for all the problems in her life. She'll probably show up.
