Someone has observed the rise of a new specie [sic] in the lab? Funny, I missed that bit of news.

"...begin to become different species,"

Begin to become different species, or became a different species? Seems to me this is not what you claim. Take another look at what you are tauting.

Evolution has been held as "true" for a hundred years now, even without the "evidence" which was observed just this past June. The desire to "prove" this theory leads to biases and the strong desire to fill in the gaps of their theory. I suspect what this grad student observed isn't what they think they've observed. They've seen a change, but it's still a fly. Creation doesn't discount the possibilities of differentiations on a theme.

OK, I was in a hurry when I posted my last comment, so I went back and read the article about the fruit flies and the apparent transformation into a new species. I didn't have to read too deeply into the article to find that this isn't "proof positive" of observable speciation in the lab:

Whether the closely related fruit fly populations, designated Drosophila mojavensis and Drosophila arizonae, represent one species or two is still debated by biologists

In other words, the proof isn't in yet. I'm sure the researchers at UA are "positive" this is what they think it is, considering the noteriety the school would get, grant money, maybe even consideration of a Nobel Prize. But, to repeat: whether this represents one species or two is still debated.
