Evolution in a test tube?

Darwin in a test tube: Scientists make molecules that evolve, compete, mimick behavior of Darwin's finches

As described in an article published this week in an advance, online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the work demonstrates some of the classic principles of evolution. For instance, research shows that when different species directly compete for the same finite resource, only the fittest will survive. The work also demonstrates how, when given a variety of resources, the different species will evolve to become increasingly specialized, each filling different niches within their common ecosystem.

Yay, further proof! I can use this as evidence against a theist and biologist who was arguing that evolution is not susceptible to the scientific method, as it can't be reproduced. Hah!

The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be puir for a' that.
