The point is there is nothing that can disprove evolution -- ie common descent, natural selection of genotypically determined phenotypes over time etc...

I know my knowledge pales in comparison to yours, but perhaps you answer a simple question for me...

Is there any other explanation for the ERV and shared pseudogene data other than common descent?

Yes, multiple events at different times.

Read the Nature articles on the chimp genome.

Multiple events are seen that are not always shared between common ancestors.

But still, you aren't addressing a positive finding that could falsifythe theory.
