A friend of mine sent me this example after we debated a few points of Evolution versus Creationism earlier today.
"Evolutionists claim that man has evolved from an ape-like ancestor over 6 million years; therefore if we allow an average of 10 years for each generation, then there would have been 600,000 generations. Every generation would have to have a mutational genetic change of 200 base pairs to turn an ape into a man.[2] There is no evidence of this genetic drift in the present day human or chimp genome. What is more is that natural selection claims that such mutations would be entirely random, but to turn an ape into a man would be a progressive improvement from a non-sapient animal into a sapient human being."

How should I respond to a statement such as this? Thanks in advance.

You ask him how he thinks that the observed evolution came about. And then you tell him that 'goddidit' is not knowledge.
