Lenski's experiment is also yet another poke in the eye for anti-evolutionists, notes Jerry Coyne, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Chicago. "The thing I like most is it says you can get these complex traits evolving by a combination of unlikely events," he says. "That's just what creationists say can't happen."

Huh. I don't get this. Who are the anti-evolutionists he is referring to? Some people who are educated criticise theorists for saying evolution explains how you can get life from non-life or for saying you can an entirely new species from adaptation and mutation. I don't consider those skeptics as being anti-evolutionists. Every educated person knows about adaptation and mutation.
