  1. So because the molecular evidence doesnt conclusively find the genes, their protein sequencing, or have knockout tests we must assume equality and disregard all other kinds of evidence? Despite equality also not having molecular evidence behind it? That's just an appeal to ignorance on a grand scale, when your own proposition is unproven by this standard. I would be sympathetic to this view if non-molecular evidence came down on race's having the same innate intelligence, but it doesn't. This isn't a case of us hiding out in the realm of molecular evidence using our GWAS studies to dispute the non-molecular evidence, this is you saying all other evidence is meaningless. Literally an Equality of the Gaps argument, we have not yet conquered a frontier so you say you will be vindicated there (without evidence).

  3. Science is about abductive reasoning to determine what is more likely and less likely as Feynman would and did say, and your proposition is less likely at this point. To deny this is to give creationists their case to doubt evolution or, perhaps more relevant, you'd have to deny the higgs-boson because it isn't found either. What you're engaging in with this game of denying categories of evidence and treating your position as the default is epistemological hubris
