Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

by cofty in

i intend for this to be one of a series of bite-sized ops on the evidence for evolution.. introduction to dna genes are sequences of dna made up of words (codons) each of which are three letters (bases) long.

there are only four letters in the genetic alphabet (acg&t) each word or codon is the recipe for one amino acid.

there are 20 different amino acids in living organisms.

people have debated this as far as courtrooms

Hmmmm.

#1 protein functional redundancy comparing the sequences of amino acids in ubiquitous proteins confirms the relationship between all living things..

#2 dna functional redundancy comparison of the dna that codes for the amino acids of ubiquitous proteins predicts the tree of life with an astonishing degree of accuracy..

#3 ervs endogenous retroviruses that infected our ancestors are found in the same place of the genome of our closest primate cousins..

you find somebody that refuses to fall down at your feet

No - this is about evidence.

You said:

It's a foregone conclusion that it is accepted in the Bible Belt that we all descend from a common ancestor.

As the evidence shows, Neanderthals are a humanoid species that are genetically different to us.

Humans living before the time of Adam and Eve had sex with a different human species who subsequently contributed about 1-4% of the genomes of non-African modern humans.

This is a fact you can't argue with.

If you do, you are exactly the same as flat earthers who deny the evidence that is before them.

Do some research.

I did:

Neanderthals are genetically distinct from modern humans, but are more closely related to us than chimpanzees are.

Neanderthal Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA

Neanderthals have contributed approximately 1-4% of the genomes of non-African modern humans

Interbreeding

As you can see, we got 1-4% of our genomes from a different species.

Right through the late 1980's and early 1990's scientific research was done to debunk so-called 'neanderthals. They were proved to be human.

Wrong - keep up to date and stop living in the past.

The Genesis account, that we all learned, speaks of all mankind coming from a common ancestor, Adam. It's a foregone conclusion that it is accepted in the Bible Belt that we all descend from a common ancestor. How you have made this an issue, and made it supposed proof of evolution is breathtaking.

How do you explain other human species like Neanderthals?

Subliminal images - why and who are the individuals behind it?

by UnshackleTheChains in

i remember about 5 years ago reading on another site about subliminal images in wt literature.

i honestly thought it a load of bs until i checked out one glaringly obvious image of a creepy skull in clouds within the knowledge book.

i was shocked and even showed my wife at the time who thought it was creepy.. so my question is why?

Another Syrian (22) interfered and “in doing so, prevented worse,” Chief Prosecutor Gernot Bantleon reports.

Wonder why that point wasn't highlighted?

The spinning blade of a Sword and the 2 Angels guarding the gate....

by stuckinarut2 in

for some reason i found myself shaking my head once again in disbelief at the story in genesis.. amongst all things, the very concept of a "flaming sword" spinning around and blocking the "entrance to the garden of eden" is so stupid!.

do people really believe that as a fact?.

seriously, swords were not even invented at that time!

wizzstick

I know it's hard to do but try stop taking Genesis literally

Jesus did. He said the flood happened. Which is BS.

And of course there's 2 Tim 3:16.

Either it's all inspired or it isn't...

Seriously, swords were not even invented at that time! So how could they use a flaming sword?

When talking to JW relatives I point out two things.

1. The Tree of Life was not a symbolic tree. It was a magic tree because if Adam and Eve, or their descendants, got to it and ate from it they would live forever. Hence the angels and spinny sword.

2. This account means that God, the God of peace, invented the first sword.

Strangely enough they change the subject soon after.

CO/DO's in the UK?

can anyone compile a list of as many as possible past and present co/do's from the uk?

Thanks for the update Researchedandenlightened.

Hope Linda found happiness. Bit of a Stepford Wife but she deserved better.

Jim and Linda Cleary.....now there,s a story !

Jim was our CO in the mid-90s.

A self righteous idiot, who was a big Trekkie. He would insist that ST:TNG was recorded by his host family when it was on. Got very stressed when someone forgot.

He was loved and loathed fairly evenly. He told me whillst we were on the ministry how his body of elders had found out that a lad had watched Aliens (an 18 rated film he stressed) so they D'fd him for his lack of repentance.

He had a habit of moving the podium away so it didn't block him. So he'd be standing there just behind the microphone. Seemed to love everyone being able to see him fully.

Years later we heard some stories about him.

Firstly that he'd left his wife amd run with some other woman.

Then that this was totally untrue.

Then that it was true.

So we never got to the bottom of it.

Is this where he ended up?

The five-strong team are all Jehovah’s Witnesses, with Liz Henderson and Micah Alford there daily, Natalie Webb works part-time and book-keeper Jim Cleary comes in once a week. “We take our religion seriously, but not ourselves,” said Jim, summing up the warm atmosphere around the place in an instant.
