Sorry Wendy1946, Neanderthal DNA as well as epigenetic DNA, is virtually identical to your own ~ the differences are less than between you and your neighbors next door.

They are just funny looking people and you should be ashamed of yourself for calling them "apes".

gosh,Wendy, can you expound on the evolution of the angiosperms some time?

Sigh! The dark side of FR!

Sometimes I wish Jim Robinson would double the Freepathon to create TWO separate FRs.

FR Modern Science (or FRMS for short)
This would have FReepers who believe in Science. However, we believe in classical science with proof and Q.E.D etc. Thus we Freepers believe in Moon Landings, Evolution, Earth being 4 billion years old etc. However, we believe that AGW is unproven theory etc

FR Biblical Sciences (or FRBS) for short
They would be Freepers who believe in Biblical based sciences.

Whenever a Freeper would then post an article, she/he would be asked if they wanted to post to FRBS or FRMS or both.

In case a Biblical Sciences article was posted to FRMS, the mods could TRANSFER that article (not zot it) to FRBS. Vice verca, if a Modern Science article made it to FRBS, the mods would transfer it to FRMS

This would keep both of us groups happy. We are all economic conservatives over here. Some of us are more modern science types, others are more biblical. Rather than get in flame wars and divide our Conservative movement, how about having two sub-boards?

Of Evolution...The idea that all living things would not have the same DNA is an absurdity....and that is the wonder of creation itself...

Seen any new creations lately??

Given the bewildering morass of dating, artifacts, the astounding size and complexity of the universe, physics, chemistry, and biology, I think that if the truth of the matter of human origins were revealed tomorrow, both the evolutionists and the creationists would be in shock with amazement...

Back in the 50s scientists claimed that all the basic information was known and it was just a matter of filling it the details... and that perception quickly dissipated. Then other “sure things” in science arose, and were shot down eventually, and so on until today.

Hardly a day goes by when something isn't found/discovered which potentially casts doubt on some part of some science “fact”.

For instance: the more we look at stone artifacts, the more we become amazed at the construction techniques. The list goes on.

I think arguing dogmatically from any one point of view is to throw the baby out with the bath water. Look at what happened in physics when James Clerk Maxwell's 200 quaternions (vector equations) were radically deformed and changed into (field equations) by Oliver Heaviside. We got modern electromagnetic theory, but no on has ever gone back to the original 200 quaternions (AFAIK).

“The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.” - J. B. S. Haldane

Merry Christmas to all.

Imagine that this process goes on like that for ten million years, which is more than anybody claims is involved in "human evolution". The max number of such "beneficial mutations" which could thus be substituted into the herd would be ten million divided by twenty, or 500,000 point mutations which, Walter Remine notes, is about 1/100 of one percent of the human genome, and a miniscule fraction of the 2 to 3 percent that separates us from chimpanzees, or the half of that which separates us from neanderthals.

You're leaving out beneficial mutations such as duplications, which voids your math and conclusions.

[Moonman62]

So God spends billions of years creating us and this is how you show your appreciation?

Your willful ignorance of science is sad, and still many of the history denying anti-science crowd wonder why everybody else mocks them…

A recent article reported that 40 percent of the population believe in creationism.

50 percent of the population are below average IQ.

So even 20% of those people who are dumber than a box of rocks know that creationism is a joke.

By what mechanism did modern man change into all the different looking populations we see today?

What was the mechanism?

By what mechanism does antibiotic resistance arise in pathogens treated with antibiotics?

What is the mechanism?

What was the mechanism whereby sickle cell anemia became prevalent in malaria country?

What was the mechanism whereby lactose tolerance in adulthood became prevalent in Northern European and African cattle herding populations?

What was the mechanism?

How did all modern species arise from those “kinds” that could presumably all fit on a boat of known dimensions?

What was the mechanism?
