my observation that universal common descent is not evidence, it is an explanation of evidence.

I didn't see the post this refers to, but even if you caught someone expressing the issue poorly, it is hardly worth commenting on. Common descent is as well established as heliocentrism. There is no alternative hypothesis except poofism. Common descent is accepted by most ID advocates. Behe and Denton accept it as a fact.

This reads all wrong on this side of the Atlantic: I'm thinking that "poof" (short for "poofter") doesn't have the same slang meaning over there!

Are you demeaning poofists again?
