I read nothing that disproves the fact of evolution in both what you wrote, and the links you provided. Humans kill each other over territory too, but even more so over religion. So what's your fucking point? I would still not be ashamed to be a chimp. The reason humans share so many things with other living creatures is because we all derived from the same source- the cosmos. Thank you for elaborating my point, and in doing so, proving it definitively.
Again, common genetics indicates common design. And what disproves it is that there is no evidence for macroevolution. It has never been observed once, and the "innumerable" transitional fossils predicted are not in the fossil record. You've swallowed nothing but smoke. This is why people like Dawkins are now saying that you don't need the fossil record to prove evolution.
evolution is unproved and unprovable. we believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.

I have read enough literature on so called intelligent design, thank you. It's not even considered a theory. It makes no predictions, contributions, or scientific models for review by truly educated people. It's total bullshit, and it's been proven over and over again. Just because an old earth and evolution doesn't agree with what you so fervently cling to and call real knowledge, does not mean that it isn't true, it just means that you're completely sad and delusional, and most importantly, mistaken.
Intelligent design is a superior explanation for the information in DNA. It also demonstrates irreducible complexity. Radiometric dating, when used on things we do know the ages for, returns the wrong dates. It has returned ages of millions and billions of years for things we know are only a few hundred years old.

You also should consider the soft tissue found in t-rex bones containing blood cells..if it is 65 million years old, it could not survive. DNA has a maximum shelf life of thousands of years, not millions. They also have found hadrosaur bone cells, 10 million year old frog DNA, etc.
we take the side of evolutionary science because we have a prior commitment to materialism. it is not that the methods..of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation..on the contrary..we cannot allow a divine foot in the door.
