I wonder how much of the "desert" genes relate to the fact that genes can also be read by RNA three dimentionally. Protein production is not always linear along a DNA strand like we see on simple TV animations.

If we evolved from apes, what did apes evolve from? I've never had that question answered.

Dont ya know, they say we came from some slimy thing from the ocean... and just poof the human body had morphed into the great body that we have today. pretty amazing really...

How do you supppose that first 23 Chromosomer haploid felt when he met his female counterpart, the 24 Chromosomer haploid?

"You keep your faith in man and Scientology and I will keep mine in the Lord."

If you think Scientology has anything to do with science, Tom Cruise would like to speak to you.

What process would create apes, then a couple millions of years later, humans with similar genes?

Dunno.

What process would create mice with human neurons?

Well, if you believe that we evolved from the ocean into an ape and then into a human, you sure as heck aren't a Christian or Jew. Not sure if they allow for that sort of thing in scientology but im sure they do.

There are a great many Christians and Jews that would disagree with you.

Or how about "Hot Mama"?

It doesn't matter if they disagree with me or not, they disagree with the Bible.

Pope John Paul II being one of them.

“[N]ew findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than a hypothesis. In fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers, following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines. The convergence in the results of these independent studies—which was neither planned nor sought—constitutes in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory.”

“A theory is a meta-scientific elaboration, which is distinct from, but in harmony with, the results of observation. With the help of such a theory a group of data and independent facts can be related to one another and interpreted in one comprehensive explanation. The theory proves its validity by the measure to which it can be verified. It is constantly being tested against the facts; when it can no longer explain these facts, it shows its limits and its lack of usefulness, and it must be revised.”

         -- Pope John Paul II, 23 October 1996.

You forget: anyone who does not share his interpretation of the Old Testament in every identical way is actually a godless atheist.

It's easy to claim to be right by simply redefining any counterexamples out of existence.

I guess that's settled and we can all go home now.

Sorry, computer freaked out on me :) One reboot later.....

"That wasn't a joke, it was haploid for thought."

OK, this haploid walks into a bar ya see...

So are you trying to point out haploid breeding issues then? I'm feeling a little dense this evening, throw me a bone.
