Ah, the familiar creationist catch-22.

Creationist: Evolution isn't science. It can't be duplicated in a lab.

Scientist: Yes it can! Here's an example of how evolution can be duplicated in an exactly reproducible way.

Creationist: But you did it in a lab. You designed the experiment, so it isn't evolution!

Repeat until the scientist becomes nauseous.

More importantly, this experiment refutes the creationist canard that evolution is a random process.

You forgot to mention that if the experiment is reproducible, it isn't random.

Just being helpful.

Does ToE suggest that all life evolved from the same type of single celled organism, or does it only take it back to a variety, or even just several single cell organisms?

I have been under the impression that it is one single cell organism, which leads me to a question. This organism would reproduce asexually. As it populates, and the environment changes, it would mutate for survival. If it's mutating to maintain survival according to the environment, then would all of the mutations be the same until it is populated to a degree that it begins to compete with it's self and the environment for survival? Is that when divergence would begin according to evolution?
