Why come up with a helicopter design for bats when the wings I designed for birds do the job perfectly well?
The part of the previous message that Mr. Bauer was responding to was about Hox genes, so it would appear that in this particular case the IDist brought up the bat wing-bird wing comparison, not the so-called Darwinists.
I think it is legitimate to make the exact same argument, only with correct facts, right back. It isn't a strong argument, because it is nothing more than an appeal to incredulity. I would think, however, that it would be convincing to the IDist, since he made the argument originally himself, just with incorrect facts. And being convincing and being on a sound logical basis are often orthogonal, c.f. politics.
