DAVID: I won't give in to your distorted illogical view of evolution. The bold is your constant dishonest interpretation of what I have granted: I have no idea why God chose to evolve us. The 99% are a necessary step in any evolutionary process; an obvious statement.

dhw: Necessary for what? There is nothing dishonest in my objection to your illogical statement that the 99% which had no connection with humans, were “part of the goal of evolving [= specially designing] humans.” I am not going to insult you by calling you dishonest. I am simply asking you to acknowledge that if you have no idea why your God chose to evolve us, and you cannot explain why in choosing to evolve (design) us he chose to evolve (design) all these life forms that had no connection with us, then we shall both simply have to accept that this is your fixed belief, and we can end this discussion.

DAVID: If you accept we are in total disagreement about the necessary parts of past evolution and never bring up the subject again in any other related discussions I will stop telling you you are illogical on this aspect of evolutionary history study.

No deal. There is no way I can possibly accept that I am the one who is being illogical when I ask you for a reason why your God would specially design millions of life forms, food bushes, lifestyles, natural wonders etc., 99% of which had no connection with humans, if his only goal was to design humans.
