Argument #2: Evolution Of Species

[Angrboda]

So, is it your entire objection that ERVs aren't evidence for evolution and common descent because God "could've done it that way" ?

God can do as He well pleases. If you make your own universe then do as you please.

I suppose if you're willing to invoke magic, you can "justify" belief in anything.

I don't believe in invoking magic, I believe in the Holy Bible.

First you invoked that God can do anything, literally anything, a kind of magic, and then you claim you don't invoke magic.

One of these statements is a lie. Which one is it, Rev?

Regardless, that ERVs can be made consistent with the God hypothesis by invoking magic doesn't make them any less strong as evidence for evolution, as they are consistent with that hypothesis as well. They are a startling confirmation of common descent even IF you could achieve the same result with 'magic'. Do you have any actual evidence that God rather than evolution did it, or are you gonna settle for invoking magic as an answer?
