E. Coli, Evolution, and Eeee-diots

(sorry for the forced alliteration)

THIS article has an exchange between a microbiologist (whose findings indicate long term evolution of an E. Coli colony to grow on a citrate substrate)and the creationist yahoo who runs Conservapedia. An interesting read (dialogue should not be read if you are having blood pressure issues, have a heart condition, or are experiencing high levels of stress). I found the microbiologist's responses to this cretin to be intelligently composed and an excellent smack down, though I have my doubts about whether the creationist has any idea that he got thoroughly smack-downed. I'm particularly amazed at how restrained the microbiologist managed to stay despite the rudeness and outright slander being spouted off about him by the creationist.
