So, what you're saying is that scientific knowledge which explains things about the natural world is "useless" if it contradicts someone's religious beliefs?
No, that's not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is, regardless of any religious beliefs, the theory that all ilfe on earth evolved from microbes is useless to science. So since that's what the argument is about, winning it is an irrelevance to the real world. It's like winning the argument that the Tooth Fairy wears a pink dress, and not a green one.

In fact there are many in the fossil record that show a progression over time from the reptilian jaw/ear structure (where the single ear bone is attached to the three bone jaw) to the mammalian jaw/ear structure (where the three bone ear is separated from the single jaw bone). This includes several species with double jointed jaws (the original reptilian joint and the new mammalian joint). Others show differences in the sizes of these bones as they change over time, adapting to the new structure.
I will investigate this ridiculous claim. My expectation is that it is based on a vast amount of wishful thinking and vivid imagination, that is in turn is the product of an a priori commitment to the atheist belief that all life on earth evolved from microbes.
