Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs
Ant writes "ABC News reports that scientists are bringing the past to life by hatching eggs once thought to be dead and producing colonies of animals as they existed decades ago. They are calling it 'resurrection ecology,' and it's a whole new field that quite literally allows scientists to observe evolution as it occurred, using animals that were quite different than their kinfolk today."
Can this possibly be used as an argument for evolution?
This should probably be phrased as: "Can this possibly be used to show that evolution is more than just a theory?"
Nope. Try again. Evolution can occur incrementally. You hypothesis implies that it connot. Um, no, sorry. Please come back again later when you can pay the tab. ;^)

I think you are mis-representing many well-educated and scientists who are creationists. The one simple piece of evidence that they keep asking for and has not yet been found is an observable example of a mutation or genetic variation that has actually increased the amount of genetic information in an organism. A vast amount of such mutations would be necessary for evolution to hold water. But not a single one has yet been demonstrated. The question was put to Richard Dawkins who was dumbfounded and reverted to the old - "well it takes a lot of time, you know" argument. You can see it here.
Evolution is a FACT, not a theory. The evidence is already overwhelming. Science won over religion long ago, those blinded by religion are so because they are too ignorant to look at the evidence.
