As expected, not all the creationists arguments for this news is consistent. Some are claiming this is simply adaptation/mutation, and does not involve any new genetic information. Some are terming this as "micro-evolution", which doesn't require God's intervention. And so on. It's quite a Flood (with an uppercase 'F' in reference to Noah) of arguments. :-) Ramana: come on – to repeat your phrase, be Objective! :-)
