Are you sure you can read? I didn't use any of the same arguments or logic. Just as that article counted on a person not really knowing about the theory of evolution or any science at all for that matter.

I can disprove anything if I'm allowed to used bad math.

Post #3 mentioned DNA, isn't it about time you quote that and change the subject insisting the entire thread has been about DNA, about now?

Know how you're dealing with before you make accusations. And before you try to throw that one back on me, I had read your article before I said anything.

EXACTLY!Take things out of context and pick apart at the margins, doesn't make the actual concept disproven.

thats funny, the spin master accusing someone of changing the subject. Apparently your ability to type is not tied to an ability to read or comprehend

See, we do agree, you'r article takes marginal points that really make no difference to the argument, pair it with dis-proven 100 year-old science and combine to make a completely non-compelling argument. I knew a small amount of discussion and you'd see it my way.

? I simply repeated what you said to me, changing a few words from science to religion.
