Sure, no problem. Even then, he should not have taken what I said as a RESPONSE because it was not a response at all. It was an ad-hoc expression, not meant to be accurate. So, yes, I will be more careful. He still miscarried the conversation. He’s still wrong about splitting hairs and humanities.
Technically, when you include someone’s comment like you did with John’s, it indicates you want to entertain comments from that person. Anyway since you cleared this up, it’s cool.

The spelling is “Bechly”, Günter Bechly. He agrees that there’s plenty of evidence for common descent, including universal common descent. Though that doesn’t necessarily mean he thinks it’s true (Todd Wood would be an example of a YEC who agrees that there’s strong evidence for descent), it seems as if he’s not a creationist but a rather extreme saltationist. He appears to think that every species, or it may be genus, or it may be family — he isn’t clear — arises by saltation with no intermediate forms. What causes the saltation is also unclear, except that there’s some quantum-mechanics woo involved.

Thanks for clarifying his position and the correct spelling of his name. I guess I have to take my words back. He is not ignorant of the evidence for common descent.
