From Wikipedia:

Commonly in an Argument from Personal Incredulity or Argument from Ignorance, the speaker considers or asserts that something is false, implausible, or not obvious to them personally and attempts to use this gap in knowledge as "evidence" in favor of an alternative view of her or his choice. Examples of these fallacies are often found in statements of opinion which begin: "It is hard to see how...," "I cannot understand how...," or "it is obvious that..." (if "obvious" is being used to introduce a conclusion rather than specific evidence in support of a particular view).

And, I did point to “one thing” from the book that is pure speculation. The entire book is based upon common descent and the speculation that everything we observe in nature arose from a minute microbe that popped into existence billions of years ago.

Honestly, I think the concept of microbe to man was initially the brain child of someone who was trippin' on something funky.

You NEVER seem to address the fact that the grand majority of people supporting Darwinism in these on line forums and blogs are atheists. That doesn't seem to bother you guys in the least. - FtK
