Creationist eat your heart out! Evolution is the ONLY logical explanation!

That tissue promised to wipe my nose before the drip had passed down my chin!
Lies!

@CopperCicada

I think i was doing quite well to identify the similarity!🧐
lol i'm very ignorant.
Interesting subject though!

@Pikachu Sure. That wasn't a criticism.

I like your ERV argument. Too many of these evolution discussions get lost because they are at this Darwinian scale of macroevolution.

Just take a cell and there are all these signs of evolution. Your ERV case is of genetic markers.

I thought I'd throw in the mitochondria one so you can use that one in the future.

@CopperCicada
No worries, i wasn't taking it as criticism, just trying to salve me ego lol

Your examples are intriguing and i must investigate them so i can properly understand their significance.

@Pikachu We should pray for your salvation together now. 🙏

@GeniUs

I'm doing it...am i salved now?

@Pikachu Yeah we'll call that good.

@canusernamebemyusername

lol i mean who knows which part of Christ's body that wafer comes from...what if it's they peenyus?!😳

@midnightrose

Because ERVs are the result of infection events. It makes no sense that god would create organisms with viral genetic material which is ordinarily inserted during an infection. Furthermore, there's no reason that the location of these ERVs in the genome should be positively correlated with organisms that evolution describes as more closely related.


The places in the genome where ERV material is found are random results of the viral infection. That is to say that even if the same kind of virus infected two different species at the same time there is little chance that the ERV would end up in the same place in the genome of both hosts.
So that the ERVs appear in the same places with increasing frequency with more closely related species shows that those two species share an ancestor which itself was infected by a virus, had the ERV encoded in its genome and passed that altered gene code on to its progeny.


Absolutely. It shows the order of phylogeny. It falls in line with what is predicted by evolution: that more closely related animals will share more ERV sites than more distantly related animals.

I wonder if ants say that about humans 😂 @Straylight

@Straylight

So i'm told!
lol that appears to be an *ahem* explanation for a lot of things which believers have trouble explaining.

@Ingwe Hmm, i try often but i think at best i'm half-assing it lol

@YourMomsSecretCrush

@Zonuss

lol so...now you're just combing over my old threads to post little kiddie insults?
Wow i really got under your skin! 😂😂

@Pikachu You respond still. I got under your skin. 😛

@Zonuss

Dang, got me. What a fool i've been lol

@allygator18

I think you're right.
This is only of interest to people who take an interest in such matters.
