Macroevolution in the lab.... |

This article in the Guardian (UK) poses some problems for creationists who often deny that macroevolution has happened or that speciation can occur.

BUTTERFLY EFFECT: NEW SPECIES HATCHED IN LAB
The creation of a new species, something that scientific orthodoxy says should take thousands of years of genetic isolation has been achieved in the lab in just three months. Scientists think they have recreated the process that produced a stunning South American butterfly called Heliconius heurippa virtually overnight. And they suggest that similar rapid species

a new species, now nice!! don't dog breeders do essentially the same thing? why don't you create a new life form in the lab? given that evolution, which is a blind, random force, created life from what? nothing, right? then an intelligence should be able to reproduce that rather simple step, correct?
