Orac has noticed that one creationist chap, "Emperor Darth Misha" (I assume no relation ;-) ) has jumped on the story and among all the other standard crapola (featuring a large criticism of peer-review that totally reverses the facts about Sternberg and the Smithsonian incident) included the wonderfully predictable statement, "And the finches, much to nobody's surprise, remained finches throughout.  Let us know when one of them turns into a giraffe.".

I win.  Again.

I'm going to go get a beer...
