I don't think so.
LOL. Well, maybe it's in the eye of the beholder. I would have said, With someone THAT dense, how could you know they were lying?

6 v half-dozen, perhaps...

I suppose so...

But it DOES get worse:

"It might also be useful to remind people that an estimate of 75 million beneficial substitution to create a human from a common chimp/man ancestor is a very generous estimate. I doubt if something as simple as changing the assumbly instructions for a 727 into the assembly instuctions for a 747 could be achieved with as few as 75 million beneficial substitutions"...
"Chimps to Man with 2,00 substitutiions!! The transformation of a simple one page text or a one page program would typically require more than 1000 substitutions. I don't think it would be difficult to identify 2000 differences between men and chimps where each difference involves thousands of differences in assemply instructions and each change in instruction would involve a large number of substitutions. "
