“Albert Einstein also believed that Natural Selection was the theory that best explained Biological evolution, and he was certainly a lot smarter than any of the Science haters at the Dyscovery Institut”
Natural Selection is great for explaining changes within a specie. It’s pure speculation and fantasy to use it to explain differences between species.
All primates share a deletion at the same position in the gene that would code for the protein to make Vitamin C, this deletion causes a frame shift mutation and early termination.
If a Retroviral insertion sequence (ERV) is found in the same location in the human genome and the orangutan genome it will also be found in the gorilla and chimp genome. ERV’s found in the same location in chimps and humans will not necessarily be in the same location in other primates. ERV’s shared only between a few closely related species are less changed from their original viral sequence than ERV’s shared between a wide range of species.
Drugs are tested in rats rather than frogs because the former are closer related to us than the latter. This is down to a molecular level, such that drugs that interact with a human protein coded for by human DNA will more likely interact in the same way with a monkey’s protein coded for by monkey DNA than it would a frog’s protein coded for by frog DNA.
Science isn’t speculation and fantasy, it is speculation and data. Speculation based upon the idea of common descent through natural selection tend to agree with the data and yield useful predictions.
