I have not read this entire thread....
The title is: "ERV's: Evidence of Common Ancestoy"
EVRs support common ancestry model between apes and humans and that's fair enough also. But it is false dichotomy to claim that because evolution theory had predicted 'common ancestry', therefore evolution theory is an accurate theory, and therefore evolution theory is credible. That would be a logical fallacy because: (1) there is no observable evidence of evolution. (2) there is another possibility - creation (representing point B) ERV's all on their own do not prove evolution. BFD They are, however, evidence for common decent (which you agree to). But now you saying: "Well, it still could have been created." Of course it could have, that's the problem with unfalsifiable claims. ERV's still fit within Last Thursdayism too. Saying it still could have been created does nothing for us at all. Can you even propose a mechanism by which ERV's would have been created? If animals did commonly decend, then we would expect to see things like ERV's. That we do see them suggests that common decent did happen. It is evidence supporting evolution regardless that it could still have been created  I guess evolution was how god created it then, no?
