A "Teach the Controversy" Moment
(Why aren't you reading this at the new website?)

Short version:

Microbiologist: I have published a paper documenting evidence of evolution in E. coli bacteria.

Creationist: I demand to see your data!

Microbiologist: Have you read the paper?

Creationist: Since you refuse to disclose your data, I am going to denounce you as an unethical fraud on Conservapedia!


The data were, of course, in the paper (and the evolved bacteria are, of course, still in the microbiologist's lab).

"Teach the controversy" indeed...
