Excellent thread @T_aquaticus. Thank you for pulling this together. This is exactly the sort of evidence that convinced me that evolution was not merely an “argument” (see @mercer?), but offered effective and quantitative explanation of intricate details of biology. This was a watershed realization for me, because none of the ID or YEC argument learned ever taught me these things. It was not as if they had a solid rebuttal, they just did not know or did not engage with this sort of strong evidence.
