How many planets are there- 8, 9, or 11? What are they calling Pluto, Ceres, and UB313 and where do they fall in the "lineup?" I guess My Very Excited Mother Just Saw Uncle Nickle Pickle doesn't work anymore?

Evolutionists: Would it be ethical and worthwhile to take members of a sexually reproducing species, divide them into two groups, and encourage completely separate traits in each? The goal would be to eventually make them unable to interbreed, fulfilling the requirements for them to be considered distinct species. The caveat is that it would be very expensive, need to be on a massive scale with hundreds or thousands of organisms in each generation, and the traits we select for wouldn't necessarily be beneficial to the organisms.

Creationists: If scientists did this and were completely, unquestionably successful, would you believe in evolution?

Please explicitly indicate whether you're a creationist or evolutionist in your answer.

This also goes for all the other "miracle" magnetic products around - i.e. magnets that "ionise" your fuel so your fuel efficiency improves etc...

I know there are many wacky ideas - but as these items are strongly marketed there must be some strong theory behind it - any links to research papers much appreciated.
