These people are supposedly studying actual science at an actual proper place. Let's assume that is true.
They have things that they think don't add up about evolution. Do they go and talk to the staff there? Do they go and seek any actual answers? That AAA guy admitted that he hadn't brought any of it up. So they're not interested in learning, to see if they might not understand it properly.
Instead, they turn up here at an atheist (not even science) forum, and write these questions as a "gotcha", as if there is no answer. If those questions are so stumping, why not present them at their university or whatever? And what do they hope to achieve, even if they did manage to stump a bunch of strangers on a forum?
Instead, the questions could be used to learn something. But they don't want to learn, they don't want the actual answer. They want us to say, "Yes you're right. You just busted evolution wide open. Care to insert your personal magical explanation in its place?"
1) I've pretty much demolished any pretention that Junk Status can make to being in a proper university teaching biology, of the seven possible institutions (catholic, Iowan) three have no biology programme and the other four teach biology from a scientific perspective, ie accept evolution.
2) People like Junk Status are too arrogant and too thick to keep schtum if they are in an actual classroom situation. There behaviour on sites like here are all too representative of their general demeanour, in my own experience.
