Common descent?
Or common design?
Common descent?
Or common design?
At this point I am simply trying to demonstrate that there are a lot of facts out there. That seems to be denied by 13Sisters76. Once we get over that hurdle we can move on to what a theory is and how it functions in science.
You (P-Marlowe) have been around these threads for a while, so you have a better idea of things, but it seems every once in a while we have to go back to the beginning with newcomers. The "not one fact supporting evolution" comment (repeated in a subsequent post) spurred me to post some of the facts.
I would suggest anyone new to these threads visit PatrickHenry's List-O-Links. There are a lot of link
There is a DNA defect common to all the great apes, including us, that prevents us from making ascorbic acid. The hypothetical designer seems to have a quality control problem.
The predictions of common design aren't the same as those of common descent. Unless you believe that the designer changes His designs over time to match the predictions of common descent, in order to trick paleontologists and biologists into believing that common descent is true.
Let me know when you have some testable predictions of common design, and then we can check the fossil record and the bio-molecular evidence to see if your predictions are met. We'll wait.
