20) Sharing viral genetic insertions with other primates or even mammals isn't surprising, given the number of viruses that can be transferred between unrelated species. Therefore, while common descent is certainly one possible explanation, it is not the only plausible one, and is not solid evidence of evolution.
This video was supposed to examine evidence and test its theories. Of its three conclusions, proof was only provided for the second: microevolution.
Remember that the same retroviral insertions are in same location of the genome.
What is the possibility of two species getting the same viral genetic insertions in same exact location, if this happens independently (i mean not inherited by common ancestor) ?
Also, have you noticed that the more related the species are, the more they have common retroviral insertions in same location? How could this happen if animals don't have common ancestor) ?
@maroom1, Many viruses prefer certain places in the genome. For instance, HIV makes a viral insertion in the same location in both human and chimp chromosomes. Therefore, this is not solid evidence of evolution.
Additionally, apes and humans do not share all of the same viral insertions, as they would if a common ancestor were infected. PTERV1 is one such virus that exists in old world monkeys and chimps, but not in orangoutangs or humans, thereby discrediting the common descent argument.

Fallacious arguments, cont'd:
