    We see that he's still using this stupid title, even though it has been  
*repeatedly* pointed out that evidence against evolution is not evidence for
creation.  Doesn't the author even want to maintain a semblance of credibility?

    Hey, the watchmaker arguement again!  Can we go home yet?

    What about all of the biochemical evidence showing that enzymes from
closely related species are much more similar to each other than enzymes
which perform the same function in other, more distantly related species?
Are we supposed to write this off to coincidence, or should we assume that
God set things up this way in order to fool us into thinking that evolution
is correct?

    I hope you guys have some better arguements waiting in the wings, or
this is going to get boring *real* soon.
