Sure I can, it is a genetic variation within the species, I even called it microevolution. Just like the myriad of physical differences within most species. But it is not an example of macroevolution…

There are countless examples of macroevolution. Shared artifactual retroviral DNA sequences conclusively demonstrate that humans and great apes evolutionarily diverged from ancient common hominid ancestors, just as other species did. The empirical evidence for this fact is contained within the genomes found within every cell of every organism on this planet. But then, you feel for your pet creationist dogma just like the jurors felt towards OJ; they weren’t there to see the murder happen, they don’t accept DNA evidence, and even if they HAD been there to see it happen, they most probably would have found a way to disbelieve their lying eyes, because they identified with him, and loved him so much. As I said before, religious fundamentalism is all about feelings, and not a bit about thinking.
