Looking at the parameters of the simulation, I see that UP/PP has set the number of bases to 1/3 of the number humans have, has tripled the mutation rate per base, and specified that all of those bases are equally likely to have mutations that are selected (none of them have only neutral mutations). All 72 of the (average number of) mutations per newborn occur in loci that are under selection. If there were as much junk DNA as molecular evolutionists estimate, the number of mutations to use per newborn would be closer to 7.2.

How do you know things aren’t being foiled via random miracles? How would you propose to test that?
Other than making arbitrary assumptions, I’ve yet to see any way of distinguishing ideas within creationism based on an objective means of testing where the supernatural is concerned. Certainly you can’t do it within a scientific framework.
In fact, I think the last time I pointed this out to you, you invoked apologetics as a means of discussing ideas. But discussing ideas is not the same thing as a means of testing them.
I would also be interested to get your take the Medium article I linked. Specifically the 280,000 light year trail that follows galaxy ESO 137–001.
How and why could such a thing exist in a universe that is only ~6000 years old?
