So there has been a fair amount of acrimony between Richard Lenski, a biologist at MSU and certain members of the Conservapedia (the Conservative Encyclopaedia). Why? Because Lenski published results in PNAS discussing evolutionary studies on E.coli. This made people unhappy. The dialogue between Lenski and his opponents (who seem to display an appalling ignorance of science in general) is presented here. Lenski's homepage is here.
I tried to find out more about his opponents, but the Conservapedia search field does not seem to work at this time.
