If it was just them, it wouldn’t matter, but they are leading untold millions astray.

We have data. You have only belief.

Many of us used to be computer programmers and systems analysts. A good number stayed with the business up into the age of "modeling".

In fact, that age is a tad older than most realize. We had/have a model that would allow us to determine the best place to put a postal retail operation. It was similar to the model McDonald's uses.

The report we are working with is about a computer based model that's been pushed backwards to show that there could have been an ancestral relationship between one gene structure and another to result in a close relationship between that gene and a protein which has been identified with an important biologic process.

They then make a leap of faith and strongly suggest that the specific "changes" they designed are a result of evolution.

And, of course, they could be, or of aliens from outer-space, or simply something written into the structure of the universe (mediated through the other 8 dimensions of existence about which we know near to nothing), or Dr. Yakub, or a demigod of some kind, and so on and so forth.

It's entirely possible the "changes" occurred as part of a longterm process of self-directed self-assembly ~ and there are so terribly many things we don't know about genes that this cannot, in fact, be ruled out.

God could have thought about it too ~ and it'd probably looked just like that ~ to the degree computer models can emulate the Mind of God.

One does hope the modelers don't get too pumped up about this ~ next thing you know they'll be slapping on red arm bands, thrusting their right arms in the air, and demanding that we show correct obeisance to their power and majesty.
