Creationist eat your heart out! Evolution is the ONLY logical explanation!
We have in our genome what are known as Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs).
These represent the genetic information of viruses which at one time infected an organism's reproductive cells and so the viral genetic information was encoded at random points in the genome and passed on to the offspring.
If life was created discretely in different "kinds" then there is no reason that ERVs should be present at the same random places in a genome with increasing frequency the more closely related the organism and the odds that this has occurred randomly are akin to finding a specific needle in a stack of needles and also finding it at the same point in a hundred other needle stacks.
Creations just falls flat here.
Thoughts?
