. . . there is no limit on how much a population can diverge from the parent species.

Which essentially means a molecule may poof into a human, given however many billions of years we care to cobble up as needed. Or not. No limit means no limit, and life is made of matter, matter of fact.

The biological species concept automatically excludes populations that cannot interbreed.

I trust that means you accept the biblical concept that humans do not share common ancestry with trees. Or maybe you do. That's okay. The best guitar necks are made from trees.

By your logic, forensic methods to solve a murder cannot be scientific unless the murderer left a confession note at the scene.

By your logic intelligent design cannot be scientific unless God leaves His signature on every molecule. What's your point? The level of certitude for evolutionism as it posits a 4.5 billion year old earth and a gradual increase in biological complexity from molecule to man is hardly akin to the science of forensic crime, and even that science leaves much to be desired in terms of accuracy.

Because there are many, many more lines of evidence than written records?

And for some reason those lines of evidence always seem to be intelligible. How is that, if not by design? Please answer on the basis of science as opposed to your opinions.

You mean hearsay evidence?

No. The texts were not written on the basis of hearsay, but on the basis of direct observation. That's more than I can say for your faith in ***poof*** molecules ***poof** somehow causing themselves to be arranged into ***poof*** scientists.

The evidence I have is also outside myself, and is from multiple lines of evidence and has been tested and verified by the most precise physical examinations.

It is not the evidence we are talking about, but the source for interpreting the evidence. You are correct in asserting physical reality resides largely outside of yourself. But the guide for interpreting that physical reality is only yourself, and those with whom you agree, who themselves have no anchor except their own opinions. The biblical text contains information from a single source.

You said,

"Moreover, you haven't taken time to study time and compare it with quantum mechanics. The evidence in that regard points to an intersection between time and eternity which in turn, is reason to believe anything goes when it comes to history."

There is nothing else to say to you.
