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.
The brief point about something in the OP that I made today was simple and factually accurate.

There is nothing difficult to understand, nor does it misunderstand the topic.

Cofty, to my first post today you replied:
“I literally have not got a clue what you mean . . .”
So did you understand it or not?

I literally have not got a clue what you mean and I suspect you don't either.
So you can’t understand the point that I was making in the 3 paragraphs?
I don’t think it’s that difficult.

From the O.P.
In fact the entire tree of life can be reconstructed by comparing the amino acid sequences of this one protein. And yet any of these proteins can be switched and will work perfectly well.
Trees not only have ends, but also have trunks and branches. Trunks and branches are sequentially intermediate portions of trees.
Cytochrome C does not form a “tree.” None of the extant Cytochrome sequences are sequentially ancestral to any others (they can’t be placed into trunk and branches).
All of the trunk and branches that evolutionists propose for Cytochrome C are hypothetical, based on the assumption of common ancestry.
hi does anyone know any good articles or videos about how old mankind and the earth are and carbon dating?
.
i've just started looking into it but there seems to be a lot of conflicting ideas over accuracy so i'm unsure what to think.

It's painful to witness this sort of ignorance and wilful deception."
The main point of the article and book was clearly genome deteoriation by harmful mutation, not merely recent population increases.
Instead of dealing with that point, you simply try to generate a bogus accusation of "deception". I have found such behavior to be typical of many activist evolutionists. They present themselves as being "evidence based" and "open minded" and then turn around and just try to generate accusations against anything or anyone supporting creation or critical of evolution.

"Many creationists believe that the bulk of scientific evidence for a recent creation comes from the fields of geology, physics, and astronomy and that biology and genetics have little to contribute. However, data that confirm a young creation are rapidly emerging from genetic studies performed by both creationist and secular scientists" http://www.icr.org/article/genetic-entropy-points-young-creation
The book "Genetic Entropy" by Dr. Sanford (4th Edition) is an important read on this subject.
do i have to believe in jesus to be saved?.
i was raised as a jehovah's witness.
i was born in.
unsure,
In case you haven't noticed.
This website has very, very few believers in creation and the Bible.
Its overwhelmingly an Evolutionist/ Atheist/anti Bible site.
If you are sincere and want to dialogue with believers you should look elsewhere such as
expreacherman.com for salvation questions
or perhaps evolutionfairytale.com forum for apologetics questions.
Don't expect a dialogue from a believer here.

You made a claim about "evolutionary history" in the OP. I asked a question specifically about this.
I believe my specific point is correct regarding how evolutionists create hypothetical trees.

Quote from Opening post
"If all living things evolved from a common ancestor then we can make a prediction about the differences between the Cytochrome C protein in different species. We would expect them to differ from each other in a predictable way that mirrors their evolutionary history.
This is exactly what we find.
The more distant any two species are from each other in evolutionary history the more differences there are in their amino acid sequences." End Quote
Where are you saying this "evolutionary history" is located? From what I read from evolutionist sources, evolutionists take living creatures, look at their similarities, and from these construct hypothetical evolutionary trees from them. The construction of these tree "phylogenies" is based on the assumption of evolutionary common descent and based on the prinicpal of coming up with the hypothetical tree that requires the least amount of changes not consistent with common descent [ie. the least amount of so called "convergence"].
Now, if evolution were somehow "known" to be true then such an exercise might be useful in coming up with the most likely version of evolutionary history, but it is not in itself an objective extant "evolutionary history" since its based on living creatures combined with the assumption of evolution.

At the moment of belief you permanently receive the imputed righteousness of God and the free gift of Eternal life which can never be lost or forfeited.
21"But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" Romans 3:21-24
47Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 6:47
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
