I don’t think so. This comes back to his pointing out that the mutational and evolutionary mechanisms we observe in real time account for these differences.

You said 11 days ago that “the evidence isn’t actually consistent with that.”

Two days ago, you wrote, “I definitely could have provided data in the examples you mentioned.”

This is a variation on one of those examples I mentioned. I don’t see any reason why you could have provided data 11 days ago, but are unable to today.

Evidence?

You’re failing.

Today is the future relative to two days ago. How about providing any data, much less more? You’ve made multiple assertions here with zero evidence.

Yet the evidence shows that those two mechanisms create all sorts of incredibly specific antibodies in your body in less than two weeks. If that isn’t true, how does the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine work in the YEC universe?

I don’t know if “you” was singular or plural, but _Taq_ opened with specific examples and data:

That is evidence, Valerie. You don’t offer any.
