Why does not one person on the "other side" listen when I point out that the lines of common descent were demonstrated/proven by DNA testing, which can track the slow changes (or lack thereof) in copied sections of the DNA which are not acted on by Natural Selection (called "markers"), as well as other things like mtDNA?
Evolution and common descent have been demonstrated innumerable times. The finding of transitional fossils just where and how we predicted they would be found is among the smallest forms of predicted evidence produced by the Theory.
You can argue all you want about "does/doesn't look like", in bone comparisons (though I think that's borderline idiotic)... but you can't argue with the fact that rapid DNA testing demonstrated exactly what they had already discovered through other means.
Seriously, if the DNA evidence which confirms evolution and common descent is disregarded, then we will have to throw out every paternity suit filed in the last 30 years!

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
