Dear All, I thought you would be interested in this amusing creationist 
argument agreeing that Heliconius hybridization leads to speciation, but 
"it is not evolution, as no new genetic information has been 
produced."  According to the author, the reason it isn't evolution is that 
they are "still butterflies".
