The San Diego team used brine shrimp to prove a simple mutation here suppressed 15% of the limb development in the animal's central body region. This would have allowed its ancestors, which had limbs on every segment of its body to lose their hind legs and evolve into six-legged insects.

ABSOLUTE NONSENSE!!

First off,
1.) who did the mutation, scientists or nature?

2.) If it caused the legs to fall off, where did the NEW DNA come from to create the 6 legs of insects?

3.) If there was a mutation of one creature that was mssing it's hind legs, how did it get around? It had a natural knowlege of how to use it's original number of legs, only now it has less, which means less mobility, and that means it was easier prey for shrimp eating creatures, how woudl it survive?

4.) What is the evidence this actually happened in time past? If this is a laboratory manufactured event, the mutation, how in the world does this prove the following:
Brilliant people, working with the latest technologies, performed numerous planned and controlled events to manufacture a genetic mutation in a shrimp inside laboratory settings; proving it all happened by chance???

Give me a break, this isn't evolution, this is genetic engineering.

Ummm... yeahhhhh. Mutations have never occurred in nature, so this experiment couldn't possibly be valid.
