Every creationist ALWAYS militantly misses the entire point about ERVs. One must not just root for the ignorance. Ignorance is our strength! Ignorance must be cherished and nurtured. Creation Science! It's not just an oxymoron, it's the "You can't MAKE me see" science. It's such an honour to be addressed by one of such immense intelligence. You just cannot imagine.
FTR, I am not a "creationist." I just know that Darwinian Evolution (in all of its flavors) is a croc. It's cute that you jump in to support someone who says, "Nobody says this leads to new species." If something doesn't lead to a new species then as far as I am concerned, it is irrelevant to a discussion related to the origin of species.

It's cute you pretend to misunderstand the difference between the mechanism that causes a thing and the forensic evidence trail that it absolutely positively MUST have happened. What did I say? You will forever misunderstand ERVs, militantly. What are you doing? Blatantly reserving the right to never understand the nature of the ERV evidence.
And you're not a creationist? I don't know exactly what a secular skeptic of evolution would look like, but he wouldn't look like a creationist saying, "You can't call me a creationist" rather like Molly Ivins or Ed Asner saying "You can't call me a communist."

How? Reading tealeaves?
"It's cute that you jump in to support someone who says, "Nobody says this leads to new species." If something doesn't lead to a new species then as far as I am concerned, it is irrelevant to a discussion related to the origin of species."
Because, Einstein, we were talking about genetic markers that we share with chimps because we have a common ancestor. We were talking about common descent, not speciation or the mechanisms of evolution. They are irrelevant to what we were discussing; ERV's. You obviously have no idea what we posted, yet you felt the need to wave it away anyway. The willful ignorance of Creationists knows no bounds.
And of course you're a creationist; I do understand why you wouldn't want to be associated with them though.
