Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

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!!!

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.

So who will be the first to ignore the definition of "species" and stammer "but they're still fruit flies!"?

[onedoug]

And this conflicts with Genesis how?

Wake me up when the fruit flies speciate into something else besides other fruit flies.

That fly turned into that women? woa

This is not evolution - it is speciation. The fly didn't become a butterfly, it became a new species of fly. Not a big deal. It has been going on since the beginning of time. This is how and why there are variations of the created kinds.

[beezdotcom]

Whether the two closely related fruit fly populations the scientists studied - Drosophila mojavensis and Drosophila arizonae - represent one species or two is still debated by biologists.

However, the University of Arizona researchers believe the insects are in the early stages of diverging into separate species.

Irony.

Sounds more like a new classification or breed, as it were, rather than a new species. They're still fruit flies.

So how much money did the taxpayer fork over on this "project" cost?

[eleni121]
