Is the patient free from epilepsy?

Common descent with modification through the agency of natural selection
and other processes is supported by literally billions of observed
facts. That the earth is much older than 6,000 years is supported by
literal mountains of evidence, not to mention grabens of evidence, etc.

You can't invalidate this by proffering situations with severely
restricted amounts of evidence in which there is insufficient data to
draw conclusions.

(I suspect that you want us to accept that evidence can be interpreted
in different ways. But this scenario of yours doesn't support that
position. From the information given there seems to be only one sensible
interpretation - we don't know. You haven't told us the strength of the
correlation between individuals, or within epileptic individuals over
time, or whether there is a distinct sub-population of high-GABA
epilectics.)

No distinct sub-population of high-GABA eplileptics, no special
correlation
between individuals, etc. In practice, scientists often need to
explore
all the possible scenarios for a given observation.
