PZ Myers has Lenski's reply to Schlafly here. As is typical of creationist numbskulls, Schlafly is asking for information that is already contained in the research paper in question, and is demanding an explanation for a claim that Lenski never made.
Presumably Schlafly, in classic creationist fashion, is after something he can misinterpret and garble for his credulous audience of conservative Republicans and other assorted homeschooled dupes.
Here is an excerpt from the Conservapedia entry on kangaroos:
According to the origins theory model used by young earth creation scientists [sic], modern kangaroos are the descendants of the two founding members of the modern kangaroo baramin that were taken aboard Noah's Ark prior to the Great Flood. It has not yet been determined by baraminologists whether kangaroos form a holobaramin with the wallaby, tree-kangaroo, wallaroo, pademelon and quokka, or if all these species are in fact apobaraminic or polybaraminic.Nobody cares enough to demand from Schlafly the data underlying these claims, or else they already have it.
After the Flood, these kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia.

I posted some text in the Conservapedia Kangaroo entry once, in which I postulated that two giant kangaroos, each measuring up to 100 miles high, hopped from Mt. Ararat to Australia. The text was deleted in less than 30 minutes.
lol
