You already know perfectly well the evidence for common descent -- it's in repeated discoveries of similar looking fossils (aka transitions), it's in repeated findings of similar & matching sequences of DNA, it's in multiple, repeated historical records of human directed evolution of new varieties & species of domesticated plants & animals.
Human directed evolution shows how common descent works; fossils, DNA and other evidence suggests it happened long before we arrived.
The fact that you refuse to see, much less acknowledge, is your choice -- you shut your good eyes ("kalá mátia") and buy broken reed (Καλάμαι, Kalámai) arguments against evolution.
Danny Denier: "That is true of everyone who is blinded by ideology, Joey.
The Pharisees, who relied on “reason,” like you, rather than the Word of God, were also blinded."
Now you're lying about the Bible!
Pharisees didn't rely on "reason", as you claim, but rather on their misunderstandings of Biblical texts, just like you do, Danny boy.
Here's your real problem: in attacking evolution and defending your own young earth creationism, I've seen you sometimes argue very dishonestly and insultingly.
These tactics suggest to me that deep in your own soul there's something wrong going on.
A man with a powerful argument to make doesn't need to lean on Denier Rules to get his points across.
You demonstrate your own weaknesses when you refuse to tell or acknowledge the truth and instead substitute insulting language.
There are none. However, there are a handful of completely distinct species that the highly imaginative among the evolutionism groupthink crowd pretend are transitional fossils; but it is only wishful thinking. Scientific evidence for a transitional line would require much more than a handful of distinct species and an artist.

Modern research has exposed that to be a highly exaggerated just-so story, Joey, invented out of desperation by the evolutionism groupthink crowd.

Domestic breeding is a form of Intelligent Design, Joey.

No, Joey. There is no such thing as common descent -- human-directed or otherwise -- except in the imaginations of the evolutionism groupthink crowd.

I am a scientist, Joey. Show me verifiable evidence and I will be an instant convert.

LOL! This is the Pharisee and Rabbi named Josephus on the conduct of the Pharisees called reason:
"Now, for the Pharisees, they live meanly, and despise delicacies in diet; and they follow the conduct of reason; and what that prescribes to them as good for them they do; and they think they ought earnestly to strive to observe reason's dictates for practice. " [Josephus, Flavius, "The Complete Works: Wars of the Jews." Christian Classics Ethereal Library, 1934, p.957]
That sounds a lot like the "if it feels good, do it" secular "Enlightenment" crowd, doesn't it?
Perhaps Josephus didn't mean it.

You cannot point out a single lie I have told, Joey. As for "insults," I am a counter-puncher, which means you first insulted me. Your insult is permanently recorded in this thread for all to see.

Those childish rules you throw out when you don't know how to respond were written by you, and for you, Joey.

Quit insulting me, and I will quit insulting you. Oh, you must also admit you insulted me first, and apologize for it.
Child.
