    1. Tree of life is just a way we organize all living things to make things easier for us. And HGT happens only with prokaryotes and certain animals. It really makes things more complicated in some parts of tree of life but that isn’t weird, there will always be some thing that we can’t fully explain. Just because HGT makes things more complicated doesn’t mean that evolution isn’t true.
    2. What are you even talking about here?
    3. Please explain how fossil record fails to prove evolution.
    4. Improbability of what? If two organisms live in same or similar environment it isn’t odd if they have similar adaptations to same or similar environment even if they aren’t closely related. And even if they have similar adaptations that doesn’t mean they are same. Wings of bats, birds and insects are all totally different.
    5. Please explain what is wrong with abiogenesis.
    6. Be more specific.
    7. Give at least one example. Who gave inaccurate prediction and for what specific thing?
    8. If you meant that there are no mechanisms for epigenetics than that’s just wrong, there are many of them.
    9. I don’t know anything about this topic so I can’t comment on it.
    10. This is a lie. Most mutations are neutral. And don’t ignore the fact that mutation can become beneficial with changes in environment.
    11. I read more about this argument and it is stupid. What if certain information is neutral in terms of evolution? Us knowing about evolution isn’t beneficial for survival but it isn’t harmful either. Same goes for creationism, belief in it isn’t beneficial nor harmful from evolutionary standpoint. And don’t forget that evolutionary processes don’t always lead to beneficial changes.
    12. Those things are similar to neutral mutations. Again, evolution doesn’t always lead to beneficial changes.
    13. Everything is politicized, it doesn’t have anything to do with truth.
    14. How? Please explain.
    15. Democracy doesn’t have anything to do with evolution or any natural science.
    16. Please explain.
    17. Please explain.
    18. Explain how.
    19. Everyone can critique it but if someone doesn’t know anything about the subject, their critique isn’t relevant.
    20. That isn’t true.
