Ok. But that wasn't your argument. You said you are "baffled" that Cofty would turn a common "Bible belt" belief that "all mankind" comes from the common ancestor Adam and proceed to make it an evolutionary matter.
I was simply pointing out that you have knowingly or unknowingly introduced a strawman, since Cofty's argument is that "all living things", including those not of "mankind", share a common ancestor, one that goes back way before Adam.
