If a Bison is only 1 acid different from a cow even though a million years separates them, it is not a very precise test.

A couple of comments. The precision seems to be quite good. The particular protein, osteocalcin, may not be very informative or specific for short time-frames, such as 55,000 years in the case of the bison, but it will be informative for long time frames. Can you see now how that can be a useful way of extracting more information from ancient fossils?

Creation/God...REFORMATION(Judeo-Christianity)---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION/coherence*!

Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!

Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY(pc/liberal/govt-religion/rhetoric)...INCOHERENCE*

Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/ZOMBIE/BRAVE-NWO1984 LIBERAL NEO-Soviet Darwin/ACLU America---the post-modern APE* age

*...new!

Uh f.Christian, what do your ramblings have to do with proteins?

Now is your chance to make some accurate predictions, since this new technology has just been developed.

Make your predictions, and we will see just how accurate you are in a year or so.

what the hell happened to Ted Holden?

Ted Holden, a/k/a medved, was banned in mid-September for re-posting some of his stuff that had recently been deleted. He came back, briefly, under another name, but was soon banned again.

No cop-outs please. Using the concepts of ID, you should be able to predict what protein relationships will be found.

Welcome!
Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!

New Scientist is a great mag. It is sort of expensive to
subscribe to it from the US, but I did it anyway and don't regret the decision one bit.

root out political fraud and corruption

We know, that is why I was asking you to make some predictions. If your predictions turn out to be accurate, then you will have verified your side of the debate.

If they turn out false, then....

it never happened!

When I was working at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, a member of my group was the son of a brilliant German scientist who developed the V-2 rocket.

Everyone liked the guy and he did good work. But when he talked about a subject, it was impossible for anyone to figure out what he said. He could talk for 45 minutes about an issue, but nobody could figure it out.

He was very intelligent and you knew he was telling you something important. But try as we might, nobody was ever able to figure out what he was talking about.

One day a friend of mine made this simple observation:

"Listening to him is like reading a printout of a fragmented hard disk. You know there is important information contained in it, but it is so scattered, it is impossible to comprehend."

Evolutionists have an inherent perception fault...their thinking is one dimensional/sided...LAME(blind)!

Have you heard the story going around about the bio prof in a well-known NorthEast university who is speaking about evolution and notices three guys snickering in the back of the room? "You guys must be fundamentalist Christians" snorts the professor. One of the three replies "No, we're math majors; like, we understand the laws(science)* of probability(reality/evidence)*..."

Yup, as I suspected. f.Christian is just someone's fragmented disk drive set on auto-post.

Just teasing, but you must admit, those previous posts on this thread are rather unique.
