Great article this week in Science News regarding the decoding of the horse genome.

Seems that there were many fewer different species in the past in that particular genus ~ about the same number as today.

What is different is that some of the smaller varieties were bigger, some of the bigger varieties were smaller, some of the dark horses were lighter, and some of the lighter horses were darker. (roughly what they report).

What that means is that VARIATION WITHIN SPECIES is rather dominant among horses and horselike animals within that genus.

No doubt some of the CREO folks might like to read that article in full. No doubt some of the EVO folks OUGHT to read that article in full.

Just another instance of further scientific research using facts rather than presumptions leads to unanticipated conclusions ~ oh, yeah, another point they made is that human beings and horses share a tremendous number of the SAME GENES.

This part really doesn't surprise me, and I haven't even seen "Brokeback Mountain".

"human beings and horses share a tremendous number of the SAME GENES. "

I've always said that horses are good people.

Humans and plants share a large percentage of DNA. All made by the same creator that's why. The fact that humans and chimps share 90 plus per cent of DNA means nothing because we have no idea how VAST the universe of the remaining different DNA is. We do know it is HUGE.
If you have 10 people and you kill off 9, you only have one left. If you have 1,000,000 people and you kill off 900,000, you are still left with 100,000 people. That is a lot. We don't know how far down the rabbit hole goes. Evolution has NO PROOF. NONE. Most science proves an EXPLOSION of species all at once, not over millions of years. Just because they say it on NGO doesn't make it true. Question EVERYTHING. You can make up your own mind.
