OK, that went random on me, sorry.

If you find a pencil on the floor, you can assert that there is a pencil on the floor. If you find 11 other pencils on the table above the pencil on the floor, and an empty package that says “12 #2 pencils”, you could assert factually that there are 11 pencils on the table. If they have the same serial number, you could assert as fact they came from the package.

But you can’t assert as fact that the one pencil rolled off the table and onto the floor. Sure, it looks like it, but what if I placed the pencil on the floor? It would look JUST like some natural process caused the pencil to be on the floor, but in fact it was a creative act.

If you had the slightest clue about evolution you would have understood his argument.

Best to scoot along before you embarrass yourself anymore.
