My favorite line from the article was, "In the meantime, the experiment stands as proof that evolution does not always lead to the best possible outcome. Instead, a chance event can sometimes open evolutionary doors for one population that remain forever closed to other populations with different histories."
don't creationists have a way to explain this all away? they will say that it's "micro-evolution" and not "macro-evolution."
