Stupid is Allmendream not knowing that ERVs and so-called pseudogenes are functional, and trying to pass-off the same as evidence for evolution.

What is the function of the GULO vitamin C synthase gene in primates?

What are the functions of the many thousands of ERV sequences in the human genome.

Do you argue that they are all functional for the host organism? Or was their primary function that of retroviral replication?

And it is not the functionality or non-functionality of ERV’s that are evidence for common descent, it is their pattern of nested hierarchy of similarity and divergence.
