But when Streelman, then at the University of New Hampshire, Durham, and colleagues went to the island in 2001, they found the fish had evolved into two genetically distinct varieties in less than 20 years. The study appears in the August 13 edition of Molecular Ecology.

I still have a hard time buying that all forms of life began from the same single celled organizm.

Until then this appears to be merely adaptation and mutation.

I think that creation and evolution are the same thing

Erm...couldn't it be that the fish already had all those genes in it, just some weren't activated. And now a different gene is activated to make it look different... or a bit different?

I'd really like you to tell me how the hell a single cell and change it's genes, or let alone have a mutation that changes it's genes to make it different in a better way...to make it better off.

If it had the genes, then a study of what genes it had would've revealed that. Unless you are saying that the genes were made invisible, weightless, didn't interfere or interact with the rest of the genome, and yet somehow were surpressed, and then magically 'turned on'.

Well, I don't believe in god and I believe in the evolution, does that make me dumb or only make me someone with a different opinion?
And yes, we do come from a single cell, although made by the junction of two in some circumstances, maybe you parents didn�t explain that to you...
