House fly? Drosophila is not a house fly, Calypsis. It's a fruit fly. A house fly is Musca domestica. As you can see, no Drosophila in there.
And you're supposed to know better about biology the the experts?
Here, some pictures, since you seem to like them so much:
Drosophila:

I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

First of all you cannot prove that you are correct by your arrogant mode, as I notice you keep on assuming that you are very knowledgeable, but the fact is you are an ignorant and it shows. What if peq will say yes, what if he will say that he got it from people who believe in creation. Does it prove that he is wrong? If your answer is yes it only shows that you are an arrogant closed minded individual.
Heh. No, it wouldn't prove she was wrong. It would be a very very very strong indication they are quotemines though. Since I haven't really seen a creationist quote anything from an evolutionary scientist honestly, ever.

are they called quote mines because they are explosive to the TOE?
No, they are called quotemines because they are used to distort the words of someone, who is not in any way supporting the view the person who is quoteminng him is trying to put forward.
I wonder what darwin would think today
That he was absolutely right, and that no such example has ever been found.

can the living cell survive without all its parts?
No. So what?

Re: Darwin about falsification
Peg writes:
But you have to admit that modern science has shown Darwins theory to have flaws and this has led to much of it being revamped or discarded.
Do you doubt gravity? Because that has been more completely revamped than evolution was.
I used the quote from Darwin because moleculuar biology proves that Darwins fear is a reality.
But it isn't a reality.
Modern biochemistry has revealed just how complex living things really are.
And that they could have evolved step by step.
Cells can only function if all the parts are complete and working properly. Or IOW, the first complex cell must have appeared instantaneously as a complete functioning unit.
Wrong. Modern biology shows the exact opposite.
the Cell puts darwins theory to bed so to speak.
No it doesn't It confirms again how right he actually was.
life did not arise by chance and evolve in the way he and other philosophers described it.
Everything about modern biology shows it did.
