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.
If the close similarities show common design, then they also show
common purpose, or common limitations, or they are just a matter
of chance.
If your friend is comfortable with there being a common purpose
for humans and chimps ...
If your friend is comfortable with there being limitations to what
the designer could do ...
If your friend is comfortable with design being just a matter of
chance ...
