So you would regard it as unscientific if someone pointed out your car is rusting?

Rust is the result of a chemical process. Rusting is not degrading, it is the result of corrosive elements operating on each other.

Cars are the result of and operate withing a static environment, not a stochastic one.

This is the philosophical corner that evolutionism is boxing itself into. Making absurd points to avoid the obvious. It is legitimate to evaluate whether a genome is evolving or devolving informationally, and denying that fact won't change how obvious it is to unbiased people.

"Obvious" to people who don't understand science. Asking lay people to know the difference between a theory and a scientific theory, for example, is probably going to find most do not know. Uninformed opinions, while frequently amusing, are still uninformed.

IOW: "'cause I think so" isn't really a reasoned nor informed basis for any argument.

Then why do you use it so much.
