BECAUSE NOTHING DISPROVES CREATIONISM QUITE LIKE DEMONSTRATING CREATIONISM IN ACTION (via Bradley M. Cooke):

Butterfly effect: New species hatches in lab (James Randerson, June 15, 2006, The Guardian)

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 creation could help to explain puzzling groups of closely related species such as Darwin's finches and cichlid fish. The finding is yet another challenge to the charge from creationists that evolutionary biologists are unable to explain large scale evolutionary shifts that result in new species.

It would be easier to accept the Darwinist protest that they shouldn't be held responsible when folks so badly mangle the concepts of species, Darwinism, Creationism, ID, etc. if just one of them got it right occassionally.
