I actually brought it up in the same conversation. I also stipulated that we have yet to find a fossil of a coelecanth that is younger than 60 million years old even though there is a species of coelecanth alive today, which seems to indicate that the observed fossil record is very incomplete. Took some of the wind out of his sails.

Ask any engineer to define the theory of evolution and you are bound to get an answer that is not accurate, at least in my experience.

Well no kidding. Ask a biologist to discuss a manifold and you are also likely to encounter gibberish.

Some may say its an identifiable pattern, I say its identifiable ivory tower elitism.
