And I have repeatedly asked you to provide an example showing their
unlikeliness and telling me at least one or two available observations
that don't support it. (Notice that I left out "Unverifiable" since the
claims of Evolution are also unverifiable)

I feel like a broken record, but you continue to insist that the
probability of Evolution is low, but you refuse to support that claim
with an evidence that shows its low probability.

Unless I missed a message somewhere along the line (very likely), I have
yet to see you present a scientific evidence that shows the Creation
theory absurd. Please re-state the evidence that you presented.

Just in case you don't read any of the three or four other posts I just
finished, please see:
"What does the fossil record teach us about Evolution?"
