robin,
"Why" is not irrelevant.
Yes it is. But for the record, I already told you why, "because he wanted to".
Why would god create life? Do you know? Of course not, you didn't need to know to invoke the argument God did it. So I don't have to know why he put fossils where they are. What's good for the goose...
The point is that you have invoked an ad hoc argument to elevate fossil evidence above DNA evidence, I did exactly the same to put it back again. There is absolutely no qualitative difference between the two scenarios.
