Hello science minded people (well evolution related science anyhow)
I've just had some one on my twitter feed post a link to this
http://www.evolutionnews.org/2013/05/the_fantasy_wor071901.html
Which seems to be using this study
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v497/n7449/full/nature12142.html
to show evolution can't have happened.
Now they use the term "darwinian scientists" which immediately made me suspicious anyway. But given that neither myself nor the person who posted the link are particularly well informed scientifically I'm wondering how best to tell him it's bullshit.
Apologies if there is already a thread about it, I did a very brief search but nothing came up (it could of course be on the old forum as the study was published a year ago)
