Oh, alright. You said this: The argument goes like this: If X is similar to Y in Z, then X and Y must come from Q. That is of course false. Leaving aside the structural incoherence (I can figure out what you're attempting to convey anyhow), evolution does not make "must" statements; it makes "the best apparent explanation" statements. Go to the back of the class now.

If it is false, then give me the correct one. It is quite coherent as the variables represent the evolutionary claims of the monkey DNA hypthesis.

You can huff and puff all you want, but unless you make a counter-argument that directly relates to mine (and you didn't), then you have done nothing to counter my argument. Making pejorative insinations about my education (which is probably better than yours) is an ad hominem - another logical fallacy. If you do not want to debate the point based on rules of logic, that is your choice, but you can drop the intellectually superior attitude. After all, I am the one arguing logically. Evolutionists make the claim about monkey DNA, not me. And I am here to point out that that claim is illogical. If it is not, then you need to provide a logically acceptable line of reasoning on their behalf, without resorting to ad hominem which only enhances the illogic of your position.

The best apparent explanation for the fact that X and Y share common properties A, B, C, D .... n is that X and Y descended from Q.

Scientists don't base common ancestory of humans and monkeys on their DNA being similar.
