The spider part was yours, not blipey's. My error. I looked at the aricles and the "tree" is arranged by some appearrance/trait criterion with no relationship to their supposed evolutionary history. All trees are man-made devices and do not prove anything except that we can arrange items in a series.
I will have to find another source. But do you believe that we have always had AIDS or that it is a recent addition? Can you prove to me that there were more STDs other than syph. and gon. in decades past? |

Wrong.

Wrong. Evolution from a common ancestor predicts that we can arrange items, not just in a series, but a nested hierarchy. Creationism makes no such prediction.

AIDS appears to be a fairly recent acquisition by humans. But that wasn't your claim, was it? You claimed there were once only two or three human STDs. That's what I'm questioning.

You made the claim (originally two or three human STDs) - it's your responsibility to back it up, and not shift the burden of proof.
