As we study genetics more broadly, and the scientists demonstrate that two or more subjects in a population of different decent have acquired the same "fossilized" viral DNA sequence, will you acknowledge that genetics disproves evolution by common descent?

The same viral sequence in the same place would be a big blow to standard biology. Perhaps some anti-evo group like DI or ICR could start doing (peer-reviewed, reproducible) research to try to find such things. AFAIK, none are known at present - the only animals with the same virus in the same place are already known to be related, things like apes and people, or whales hippos and cows. Oh well.

Another example of evos making a prediction which, if it weren't fulfilled, would falsify the theory. Compare this one to "if viral remains are found in the same place in whale and cow dna, they will also be in the same place in hippo dna"

The anti-evos have yet to make any such predictions, showing that they're not practicing science. What possible observation would be evidence against "[the designer] just did it that way?"

We are begining to see the Scientists that are Bible believing Christians enter the fray. The recent genetic discoveries has lead scientists to pursue the science from the logical perspective of life as it was designed.
