I just pointed to ALL experiments in genetics. ALL of them support my simple description of the coins. Let me start from the first one

My friend, you have not bothered to read my links, have you? I fully addressed observed speciation, and you are totally ignoring my address. How can we remain friends in good standing after that?

If ID is correct it would not be so plain at all, but it would be a lot more clear why the vast % of human genome is “junk”, why some monkeys show more “”evolutionary”’ changes than humans… etc.
My friend, if you make a statement like this, try to think a bit – how in the world it would be “’plain as day” if ID is correct?

I see it as the opposite and I can back up my view with facts. Exactly fundamentalists = the Catholic Church accept some variants of evolution, while among us, evangelicals, a descent is not so unusual. Can you back up your view?
Then, you are referring to theistic evolution… What is that- vs. atheistic evolution, agnostic evolution, undecided voters evolution, pledged delegates evolution? Then you get offended just because I am laughing. Well, I am sorry, I apologize, I just cannot help it, I am not meaning to offend you in any way, it is just really funny…

Thus you are telling me that since I belong to faith I do not belong to intelligent people. I take no offense, I am just laughing, I have heard this so many times… So, can we be even, - I take no offense in your statement that I do not belong to intelligent people, and you will take no offense because I am laughing?
