I'm no expert in biology, even less in evolutionary biology. But it amuses me greatly, that "intelligent design" advocates think they know better than leading figures in the field.
I'm no expert, so I can't claim, nor try, to prove to them evolution is a fact. All I can do is point them to what I've found to be easy to digest sources. But these people, who clearly are less knowledgeable than me, somehow think they can "debunk" the experts. As proof they can do so, they refuse to even consider reading whatever I'd point them to.
I find it hilarious really, but it's probably also a big waste of time to interact with them further.

Truth be told, I wasn't really trying to convince them. I was more mocking them than anything else.
I did try an initial attempt of "here's some stuff you can read that answer some of the things you're asking, if you're honestly looking for answers". Turns out he wasn't honestly looking for answers.

Not sure what you mean regarding "biologists got osmosis wrong". As far as I know osmosis is a process that has to do with physics. It's not something exclusive to biological systems.
@AnungIkwe @polarisera @alyx That sounds like as good an explanation as any.

They're probably training them to eat gay ass. Clearly an important skill for today's American army.
@polarisera
Well, I'm not familiar with whatever theory you know of, so there's not much I can comment.

Nothing saddens me more than people who still cling to the Bible as a source of scientific truth about how the world works.
If someone wants to quote the Bible for "god is real", I'm pretty chill about it these days. But when they try to use the Bible for "the world is 6000 years old".... it just reminds me that I lost faith in humanity a long time ago.
It's definitely a big waste of time. Intelligent design is just creationism wrapped up in pseudo-science. You're basically trying to convince devoutly religious people to give up their religious beliefs.
