To: gondramB; Proverbs 3-5
I have the evidence about the development of life much as I have evidence that the earth orbits the sun.

Actually, the evidence for the development of life is pretty spotty. The fossil record is by no means complete enough to make the conclusions that evolutionists make without some jumps and assumptions.

Granted DNA evidence helps fill in some of that, but still does not make it complete. The DNA evidence can point to common design. It kind of depends on which presumptions one starts with.

Yeah, I shouldn’t have posted that in this thread - rather than arguing about the evidence as-is I wanted to ask about the hypothetical - “what if evidence were found that convinced you?”
