[Son]

Off topic but....

Mandy, what part of MI do you live in. Im over by Grand Rapids.

Metro Detroit, Livonia to be specific. [m'kay] snow mounds are as tall as me lol.

And I'm not seeing where you guys are seeing this idea of reactivation in the article itself.

The article says

More strikingly, however, he found that one of the 12 bacterial lines he has maintained has developed into what he believes is a new species, able to use a compound in the solution called citrate — a derivative of citric acid, like that found in some fruit — for food.

“I would argue that citrate users are — or are becoming — a new species.”

@Homestar - not all proponents of Evolutionary Theory claim that life originated with no Creator. You're again confusing Evolution and Abiogenesis.

Your again misreading my words:

Yet the evolution theory many believe in says that life came about on its own without an intelligent creator or designer…

I said many, not all. And I'm pretty sure from past postings that Mandalore (whom I was responding to) does believe life originated without a Creator. I specifically worded it that way because I was taking your beliefs into account.

I believe the 'flu virus' evolves and develops new strains more rapidly due to the numerous races of people, their diets, and 'blowing germs and snot' all over each other on airliners for fast transport throughout the world, thereby adapting to all the countries environments as well. Waiting...hiding...and...evolving into some new, yet unseen strain of phlegm...waiting to strike. Yeahhh...

You have a way with words 40.
