Evolution in a test tube!

Fascinating article about the evolution of molecules in an artificial ecosystem:

Is this that molecules-to-man evolution that you guys claim was never taught at one time?

Do you just take every link to a scientific site as an insult to your religion now?
It seems like you're kinda insecure about your beliefs if you must make a pro-creationism point everytime.

The OP didn't even make a point himself. Did you even read the article? For all I know it fits under your definition of 'micro-evolution'.

It really does seem that way, it's like he won't even consider the possibility of evolution and research it, because he's afraid it'll completely smash everything he's always believed.

I do believe this is called provolution, the RNA world precurser to evolution, and is a continuation of the research done by Tracy Lincoln:

Scientists develop first examples of RNA that replicates itself indefinitely
