This whole event is something spectacular for DESIGN, because THAT'S WHAT IT IS, INTELLIGENT DESIGN, not chance/evolution/survival of the fittest.

IOW: "No experiment can provide a valid explanation of anything that happens in nature, because all experiments are designed." It's so simple, & so obvious. You want to protect your particular religious interpretation in the face of a specific theory of biology, and you just don't care if it destroys the validity of each & every experiment ever performed in the history of science in the process. For shame.

This is just a sample of what's to come, some day. You are no doubt familiar with the constant creationist chant: "If you guys could just create life in the lab, then you might be able to convince me that you're onto something." (And of course they always say this with fingers crossed, hoping the deed will never be accomplished, as their whole fragile worldview hangs on the notion that it's an impossible thing to do.)

But now we see the fallback position: "Oh yeah? Well, doing it in the lab only proves ID, and it's no proof that it happened like that in nature." The game never ends.

For shame nothing. You have no repeatable eents except those which had intelligent directionin them in the first place. It is not I that is talking up a false notion, it is evolution. You admit this was a man-created act, yet you say it MUST have happened inthe past. And the reason it must have happened in th epast is because the THEORY of evolution demands it. That is not science, that is faith.
