[Speaking of genes, though, they show *clear* evidence of common ancestry -- the kind you claim can't exist.]

Actually, they show *clear* evidence of a Creator using a common plan.

Horse manure. Try reading the explanation again, you clearly didn't understand it the first time.

These are not functional bits of DNA, these are *embedded remnants of past viral infections*. They're the DNA equivalent of chickenpox scars -- lasting damage from prior diseases action.

So unless you'd care to explain why a "Creator using a common plan" would decide to stuff random slices of viral DNA into our pristine "designed" chromosomes -- AND do it in *exactly* the same way as predicted by an evolutionary origin to fake us out while NOT ever doing it a way that would *contradict* an evolutionary origin -- I'm afraid your hand-waving just doesn't cut it.

It is, in fact, a remarkably disingenuous cop-out.

So all your charts, graphs, pictures, and conclusions are based on a FALSE assumption. You can make your nice drawings look impressive, but they are worthless as far as determining truth.

Oh look, yet another creationist who prefers to play the "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" game, rather than have to deal with the evidence in an honest manner...

Tell me, Con, why did God choose to "design" us in exactly the way that evolution would predict, right down to the kinds of trash that our DNA contains along with all the "good" stuff? If he went through all that trouble to make it look like evolution took place, don't you think we should believe him?

The graffitti shows the same tree-structure as the subject matter.
