But you still don't have evidence of humans without the ability to synthesize the protein, so you don't have any evidence of evolution.

Cluelessly vague-sounding non sequitur. One whole limb of the primate tree with omnivore dietary habits has a unique osteocalcin. This is not the only fact in the universe. There's a bigger picture.

Humans and chimps also have the same cytochrome C molecule, something we share with no other species. Humans and chimps also have the same cytochrome C gene save for one silent mutation. And there's that pseudogene thing which would have us still synthesizing vitamin C had it not been stomped on by some ancient mutation. There's the mutational drift in the pseudogene since it became a pseudogene. There's retrotransposon evidence that humans and chimps have common ancestry not shared with any other species.

But, of course, you don't know anything at all of the big picture. You wave every tiny piece of it away whenever and wherever presented. "Mountain? What mountain?" All you know of the 29+ Evidences when you see it linked is that that means it's time to link Ashby Camp's made-to-be-waved-about-and-not-read rebuttal. You don't really know anything.

You're the poster boy for what ID would turn out if it were taught in our schools.

Ouch. That's just nasty.

Mind if I use it?

That there are similarities between humans and the chimp doesn't prove that one evolved from the other, or that both evolved from a common ancestor. That is equally applicable to common design.

And as far as the 29 so called evidences, some are clear evidence against evolution when you stop and think about then and many are equally applicable to common design as to common descent.
