This is as ridiculous as claiming a transition between an amphibian and a reptile “proves” that birds evolved from dinosaurs. It is impossible for it to even address the issue, let alone “prove” anything.

Evidence that my great great great grandfather was the father of my great great grandfather cannot possibly address the issue of how I descended from my father, let alone “prove” that such was the case.

If they can't get your mind off of the subject then they have to twist it or change it or misrepresent it in some way.

That's how cults work.

Cults are incapable of being wrong....making mistakes...it's all about never ever being wrong...just like the cult of personality that is 0bama.
