Brian Thomas at ICR reports that “100 Years of Fruit Fly Tests Show No Evolution”:
Fruit flies, with their short generation times and only four pairs of chromosomes, presented prime testing ground for evolution. In laboratories worldwide, they have been subjected to all manner of mutation-inducing phenomena, including hosts of chemicals and radiation treatments, to try and accelerate evolution-mimicking mutations. After all this, fruit flies should have certainly exemplified evolution by now. But they haven’t.
…. mutating (through substituting, deleting, or duplicating) developmental genes like HOX has only ever yielded a dead fly, a normal fly (if the mutation happened to have no noticeable effect), or a tiny monster. None of these results match the “positive improvement” expected of Darwinian evolution.

Mike – “Hard core evolutionists aren’t looking for the truth.” That’s a sad but true commentary on the dismal state of 21st-century science. There is a growing number of real scientists who are questioning the establishment dogma; most but not all of them belong to the Intelligent Design (ID) movement. Unhindered by evolutionism, they stand a good chance of producing technologies that could improve mankind’s life exponentially.
Mike,
You are silly. Hard core evolutionists aren’t looking for the truth. That would likely be quite inconvenient, despite all their assertions that evolution is a “fact.”
