What difference does "my story" make? I'm not a Creationist, that's all I know. Let's stick to the post at hand, okay? Thanks.

OK, this article says "Yes, there's what looks like evidence from multiple lines of evidence for common descent. However, you can in every case explain the same thing by the intervention of My Invisible Buddy."

True, you can explain anything you see in terms of magic or Goddidit. That's one sign of a totally useless theory. And why then does the evidence also fit evolution? Fitting evolution's a lot harder. One rabbit fossil in the Precambrian, etc., etc. And why do we need supernatural explanations at all, much less why should they be the default? And what's the evidence for supernatural explanations?

I've noticed this tactic is quite common among the anti-evolutionists on these threads. You are not the only one who claims he or she is not a "creationist" but refuses to be pinned down on what you actually believe -- other than it isn't evolution.
