Yes, it was funny, but not the way you supposed. Remine just took Thomas apart, leaving the conclusion inarguable:

Thomas failed to establish his thesis:
1. Biomolecules aren't "independent" evidence for macroevolution - they cannot stand-alone - they aren't "fingerprints." Rather their very meaning must be interpreted beside other evidences - even Thomas did this.
2. Biomolecules don't "compel" us to macroevolution. Haldane's Dilemma remains unsolved. Evolution doesn't predict hierarchy, biochemical unity, abundant convergence, concerted evolution, or relative-rarity of enzymes for digesting the world's most abundant food compound - cellulose. If evolution predicts anything on these matters, it predicts contrary to what we observe. And that's just some biomolecular evidences.
3. Message Theory scientifically explains these patterns and more. Thomas's arguments against Message Theory all misrepresented it. He now responds that he personally finds the theory "illogical and unconvincing" - for reasons he chose not to reveal! Thus, he failed to explicitly address - much less dislodge - Message Theory.
