Well when your inferrence is "I can't understand how evolution works, therefore evolution doesn't work. Therefore god QED" (an argument both you and Junk Stats share), then yeah you are arging from personal incredulity.
I didn't argue that, as well it is not the view that I hold.
Also, just for future reference, if you are claiming that I don't understand something, please be specific. This is for two reasons 1) I do want to represent the facts and the opposition accurately. If I am misunderstanding something, then I do want to correct the error. 2) Especially when I ask someone to clarify. but even when not... I have a suspicion, that this accusation is thrown around more as a rhetorical device, to avoid discussion. For example, when it comes up, when I really didn't say anything of detail to warrant such an accusation.
