Hi, could you folks help me respond again to my friend? (I shredded
him last time, thanks.)

I sent him a link here:

http://www.asm.org/Media/index.asp?bid=45937

And he replied thusly:

"Here's another myth: 2] comparisons based on genomic data that
support a common ancestry of life

"Comparisons based on genomic data could equally support common
ancestry, or a common designer. NO data can determine what data
cannot see - that which came before it. So, Darwinism (called
evolution in this statement) cannot make this statement and remain
scientific - it's ideology. So who's not scientific now?"

Please help me shred him again.

I'm sorry, John, but your friend seems to be correct. Please write
him and congratulate him on the final word of the debate. The reason
that you have to seek help is because of the truthfulness of his
email. In the end, horizontal transfer by various vectors can not
even be sorted out from the simple evolution described by Darwin. As
a matter of fact, this sort of genomic inquiry is not capable of
making a determination of fact in this matter. Evolution doesn't
attempt to address this.- Hide quoted text -

Well aren't you hilarious.
