I've recently been trying to educate some Jehovah's Witnesses on a JW oriented forum about evolution, and have been running into the usual situation with creationists that they're solidly ignorant of evolution, but usually cut and paste material from the Discovery Institute, Answers in Genesis, Creation Mininstries International, etc. to defend their claims.
Normally I've found it fairly easy to dig up solid online debunkings, but for two DI-related articles I've found almost nothing:
"The Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Does Not Refute Intelligent Design" by Casey Luskin.

"The Laryngeal Nerve of the Giraffe: Does it Prove Evolution?" by Wolf-Ekkehard Lönnig (he is a JW).
http://www.weloennig.de/LaryngealNerve.pdf
As a non-biology guy, I'm limited in my ability to debunk these articles (although I have some ideas) and would really appreciate some advice from the experts on this forum. Ideally, an article with a line-by-line debunking in the style of Calilasseia would be ideal.
