Very well done, Alan!
It normally takes considerably longer than two posts for a creotard to produce such a magnificent Gish Gallop. You are a true prodigy.
Evolutionists try to sell "macro-evolution" to undiscerning consumers...
Pray tell, where does one go to buy some evolution? I live in a town of about 50,000, and the biggest retailer here is Walmart. Do they carry it, or will I have to go to a big city and find a specialty retailer?
By changing words, evolutionists effectively advertise their "20 watt" theory as being "400 watts".
Ah! This suggests I can find it at an electronics store. Does Best Buy carry it? We have one of those in town. Or do I need to go to a more upscale electrics boutique? Is there an online outlet?
I think the first quote in my signature sums things up quite well as far as Alan's loggorhea is concerned.

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus. -- Thomas Jefferson
For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. -- Barack Obama
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat

Re: Analogy fails
Wow. Just wow.
Seldom has anyone displayed such a depth of ignorance and wide-ranging scope of wrong ideas in such a short time. You really deserve a prize.
I'll pick one and let others take on other parts.
Mitochondrial Eve isn't the first man. It isn't even the first woman. It's the most recent person believed to be an ancestor of everyone living today. In other words, if we had perfect ancestry information about all people who ever lived, everyone alive today would be able to trace their ancestry back to Mitochondrial Eve.
No need to reply to this, unless that is you are unable to understand the difference between what I've said and what you said.
