A Misspent Retirement.. How my inquiries into human nature led me to evolutionary psychology and the discovery that evolution-denial is still a thing so many years after its acceptance by everyone, save for an unfortunately influential hardcore of conspiracy theorists.

Why is Evolutionary Science Vitally Important? - A Personal View
Religious Education

The ERV FAQ - Endogenous retroviruses - frequently asked questions. ERVs are remnants of viral infections found in the genomes of organisms. The majority of ERVs found in the genomes of humans and chimps, for example, provide proof beyond any reasonable doubt that we share common ancestors.

Retroviruses for Dummies
Of Eloi and Morlocks. A simple explanation of ERVs and why they are important evidence for common ancestry - H.G. Wells' The Time Machine' (1)
Proof of Evolution from ERVs: The Concise Executive Version
A fuller version: What is the case for common descent from ERVs? A summary in a nutshell.
Evolutionary Model
But isn't this all just circular reasoning, assuming evolution to 'prove' evolution?
Just how many ERVs are shared, in common locations, in the genomes of humans and chimps?
Why do virologists and geneticists conclude that ERVs descend from retroviruses and why do creationists ignore all this?
Don't retroviruses target particular locations in the DNA? Doesn't this explain corresponding ERVs?
Aren't the same ERV genetics in corresponding DNA loci in different species because they have to do the same job?
Endogenous Retroviruses: A Conversation with Tavian Opaldo. - YouTube
Integrase
We Need to Talk About Integrase
But how can you rule out design as an explanation for ERVs? A challenge for creationists and ID spotters.
Another attempt to answer the questions a design hypothesis raises
Yet another attempt to answer the questions an ERV design hypothesis raises
Long terminal repeats (LTRs). How these retroviral markers provide yet more information on evolutionary history.
But how could a species survive such a massive invasion of retroviruses into its genome?
Could you have this backwards? Maybe ERVs are designed-in variation inducing genetic elements (VIGEs)?
David DeWitt at AiG says ERVs do not line up with the expected evolutionary progression. What gives?
ERVs are essential in reproduction (syncytin and the formation of the placenta). How can this be?
ERVs do stuff. Doesn't that prove that they didn't originate from retroviruses, but were designed?
ERVs promote the transcription of host DNA. Doesn't this prove they are designed?
The Koala's Tale. How an exogenous and endogenous virus (KoRV) confirms the viral origin of ERVs.
Do koalas prove that humans got part of their DNA from viruses?
Hasn't the evolutionists' story been debunked by evolution deniers?
Haven't the same ERVs been found in species that are said to be distantly related?
How could a species survive a massive invasion of retroviruses into its genome?
How could ERVs survive programmed cell death (apoptosis)?
Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies - Graeme Finlay, a Christian preacher, expert in genetic markers that prove evolution
Is the Evidence from ERVs Falsifiable?
So how could ERVs survive programmed cell death (apoptosis)?
Superinfection Exclusion. How can, and why, do ERVs protect us from retroviruses?
Talk Beliefs Interview. Mark Torrender talks with yours truly.
The "Not Junk" Anti-ERV Defence. The dishonesty of fabricating a strawman argument and attacking it.
What's all this about the "Phoenix Virus"? A fully replication competent retrovirus resurrected from our own genomes? Sounds like a Michael Crichton science fiction story! (1)
An explanation of the "Phoenix Virus" experiment
The same ERV has been found in two species that evolutionists say are very distantly related. How is this possible?
VIGEs -"Variation Inducing Genetic Elements". A creationist attempt to dismiss the evidence from evolution - by appealing to evolution!
What are Long Terminal Repeats (LTRs)? How do these retroviral markers provide yet more evidence for evolution?
What if we find an ERV in a common locus in chimpanzees and gorillas, but not in humans?
