I want to see some of your evidence against. Mind posting some of it to the
list? There's an awful lot of evidence that suggests that "micro" evolution
has been happening all along and that these small changes have been
accumulating through the eons. The hominid material arranged solely by age
alone tells a tale of change through time that's tough for you guys to
explain away.

So post some factual evididence that mutations aren't random or that
natural selection doesn't select beneficial mutations or that selected
mutations aren't accumulated over time. I can find you evidence for all
those things. Lots of it. Until you come up with some evidence to support
your opinion it is hot air.
