Are you being obtuse for a reason? That extremely long post presented just a small scintilla of the evidence for evolution, but you airily dismiss it by calling the poster a "doctrinaire PhD crank longing for tenure and relevance." I guess handwaving is a whole lot easier than actually examining the evidence -- and it has the added benefit that you do not need to change your particular worldview.
I'll be a monkey's uncle! Gotta go, got some speciating to do.
So much of this debate is a Show Trial for Smartypants, which makes the "evidence" suspect from the start.
