William Rowe vs. Evolutionary Universalism

William Rowe vs. Evolutionary Universalism
I came across an interesting blog post which compares Rowe's evidential argument against naturalism to an anti-evolutionary argument of the same form. I think the author (Alexander Pruss) is right - both arguments fail, and the analogy between just-so stories for evolutionary explanations and just-so stories for theodical explanations holds. Whether such just-so stories, in either case, should be given, is another question.

What are your intuitions about the soundness of the two arguments being compared? Do you think that Pruss' analogy holds?
