It's wise to be particularly wary of intuitions about topics in which you have no expertise - and to treat intuitions about topics in which you have expertise as informed guesses.

I have no expertise in Limnology either, but I know how to clean up a foul smelling, weedy lake (the experts around here don't seem to know how). In fact I excel in several areas that I have no expertise in.

So you admit you don't understand it but you can declare it wrong?

I said that imo it is wrong, and, that I don't believe it. If you have proven to your satisfaction that it's right more power to you. Who am I to tell someone that what they believe is wrong. Closely held beliefs are hard to pry away from people.

How can you have the opinion that evolution is wrong if you don't understand evolution?

It's a bridge too far for my mind. I can't get there from here. You tell me that in order to understand evolution I must disbelieve design, which I see everywhere. It's like saying in order to see what you see I must poke my eyes out. You've created an impossible conundrum.

You see design because you want to see design not because it's actually there. My concept of God is not one where He always has to tinker with everything to get it working (and doing a bad job of it).

Who do you know that has researched, and proven, everything about evolution? That's a lot of material.
You don't have to do that to fully understand evolution. Just like you don't have to be an automotive engineer to fully understand the workings of an internal combustion engine.

Tell that to those here who criticize my lack of "expertise".

We both view an eyeball. You see evolution, I see design. There's no point is going any further...east is east and west is west.
