Show me where I have denied evolution. I reject abiogenesis, not evolution... got it?

This is false.
Genetic diversity is a good thing, but it's not needed to survive, using dog breeding as an example, if one were to go about producing a new breed, they would inbreed to solidify the traits that they want, hence why many pure bred dogs have health problems, it doesn't mean they're not surviving.

Animals can survive with lack of genetic diversity AND ships can be built big enough.
See? no mutual exclusivity.

So are we onto the birds/bats now?
