If you could narrow it down to one, then it seems that not all explanations are equal after all. You also seem to be ignoring that observations of genetics literally are time machines that can look into our hereditary past. We don’t have to be in the delivery room or possess some HG Wells themed leather chair to verify paternity.
This makes the objections application even more cryptic.
I’m trying to make sense of how all of this fits...and all I can come up with is that you maintain that low information deciders who place novel restrictions might, effectively, pick whatever they like from three explanations they are unqualified to competently assess. So unqualified that they selectively acknowledge their own criteria, even. For example the insistence that something be verifiable combined with a practiced ignorance of it being so.
Is that the thrust? If so,I agree...but we don’t need to object to biology to get there.
