  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Here is what you have still not attempted to explain 28 pages later...

  Therefore the burden of proof rests upon you

  I have more than met it over 27 pages.

  Comparison of cytochrome C proves common ancestry. I can't go on explaining it forever. I have simplified it and illustrated it as much as possible.

  Do you understand the gulf between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? I have explained the evolutionary link between the two on a previous thread. The topic of this one is ubiquitous proteins in eukaryotes.

  Do you need me to explain why the diagram you posted is exactly what evolution would predict?

  Don't think my picture is showing on the previous page so I will try again...

  Do you understand why or do you need me to spoon-feed you again?

  Bacteria don't have mitochondria!

  We are talking about comparison between cytochrome C amino acid and nucleotide sequences in eukaryotes not eukaryotes and prokaryotes..

  One aspect of the Bible I still greatly benefit from

  by Ireneus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  though many things in the bible do not make sense to me, there is something in it that makes my life easy.. this is how i arrived at it.

  bible defines god as the servant of his children because he makes provisions for the enjoyment of life in abundance (mathew 5:44-47) and ‘renews’ them if need arises (mathew 19:28) with no intervention whatsoever in between which means he is not interested in gratitude/worship from his children.

  yet history shows that people forget him in happiness and remember him only in distress which means he is not given love (though he is the giver of love), and he is not bothered of it.

  Cofty, intellectual honesty leads to Strong Agnosticism, not Atheism - Order

  I disagree. An 'agnostic' is just somebody who is confused about what the question is.

  1. The assertion by evolutionists that a creator would not have created life the way that it exists. - Hooby

  I have made no such assertion in connection to DNA and amino acid sequences of cytochrome C. I didn't respond to it because it has nothing to do with the topic.

  There is no other possible interpretation of the evidence other than common ancestry and unguided evolution by natural selection over millions of years.

  You can keep making vague references to something you think you once read somewhere that might have some ambiguous connection with the topic but that inconvenient fact isn't going away.

  Why are the amino-acid sequences of humans and chimps identical but a bit different from other mammals, more different from fish and more different yet from yeast?

  Why do these differences exactly reflect the evolutionary family tree?

  What are YOU depending on for Salvation? New Video

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many groups (jehovah's witnesses, mormons, sda'..) false teachers and deceivers today rely and depend on good works, their own righteousness, keeping the law, having a certain lifestyle or behaviour, being faithful in service and/or being baptised to save them from their sins.

  however, all of the above according to god's word, will never save a soul.

  in this video, i cover most items which people today try and depend on to save them from their sins.

  I saw my total depravity. - Iriddle80

  Christianity has no appeal unless it can first convince you that you are worthless as you are. What sort of human relationship does that remind you of?

  Get off your knees. You are not depraved - you never were.

  Hooby - A lot of words but you have totally failed to answer the challenge. This is called 'hand-waving'. It's a distraction technique the Watchtower uses to give the false impression that it has dealt with difficult questions.

  Comparison of Cytochrome C sequences PRECISELY confirms the evolutionary history of all species, from humans to yeast, EXACTLY as predicted by pre-existing models.

  It is astonishingly powerful proof of common descent. Your panic over this fact is entertaining.
