seems then stu, that the scientists that believe in creation are at a disadvantage ,being only able to offer specifics that are evidence against evolutionary ideas while not grasping the wide sweep of evidence that supports Darwin and those that followed him.
which evidence is only apparent to those who spend a lot of time reading up ,because it cant be evidenced otherwise, and which dissenting scientists miss, despite their scientific qualifications. irony intended!.

my "ludicrous" analogy was obviously not meant to be an exact comparison, but I think it makes the point.
ie- common traits/body plans is evidence for a common designer, just like man made machine with wheels and gears etc were designed and built by intelligent life. you present no reason why common descent should be a better explanation for the machinery of life forms.
the big gaps are acknowledged by most of you, but you all fall back on saying that we cant posit God.
