DAVID: All we know is that it happened rather quickly for all the changes to occur.

All we do know is that these things happened. Perhaps you would like to think they happened unnaturally quickly so that you can argue for preprogramming or dabbling, but the IM would solve your time problem anyway - if there is a time problem.-So, how fast does the IM work? Another unknown quantity. The evolutionists have theoretical math formulas about fixing a trait in so many generations. Since one human generation is about 20 years, there are only five in 100 years. 15 major changes from apes in 3.5 million years requiring many, many mutations. Enough time?
