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.
Hooby - I promised to respond to your post.
It's such a shambolic word salad where to begin?
How about you explain to us how 'lateral transposition' has anything to do with a discussion about a protein in eukaryotic species - or are you just paraphrasing something you read and didn't understand?

EQV - Please provide a link to your quote. Who said that and what is the context?

The study is in the journal Human Evolution.... not a creationist source. - Perry
My question was why you posted a link to a ridiculous, dishonest article that totally misrepresented the paper rather than posting a link to the original paper. You avoid answering the question and pretend you did the opposite. Why?
I post this because it is favorable toward a worldview which I believe
Except that it isn't. The paper about mitochondrial DNA discusses the age of extant species. It points to a date of approx 200,000 years when most modern species emerged from pre-existing species. It presupposes common ancestry from an origin billions of years ago. It does nothing to support your creationist superstitions.
The rest of your post about dinosaur DNA has been answered so many times on this forum it is risible that you keep raising it without acknowledging that. The mere fact that you are still linking carbon dating with dinosaur bones proves that you have no interest in learning anything.

Perry - The article you linked is written misleadingly by a journalist who clearly doesn't understand the significance of the paper or who has wilfully misrepresented it. Why didn't you link to the original paper?
It's only 30 pages and it's not too challenging. It is a very interesting report on comparisons between the mitochondrial DNA of a wide range of species.
The paper does NOT suggest that life originated all at the same time but that the age of extant species can be traced back to founder populations around 200,000 years ago. Two possibilities are suggested for why that is the case. There is NOTHING in the paper that in any way undermines the fact of evolution. It is a discussion about the pace of speciation. Please read the original paper not the appallingly bad, sensationalist bullshit article in Tech Times.
Do creationists get news alerts for this sort of crap or do you find the links on other creationist websites? Get out of your self-imposed ignorance bubble.

they will even go so far as to insist that science be defined as the search for “naturalistic explanations” Such a view excludes the possibility of creation a priori - Hooby
You are confusing 'methodological naturalism' and 'ontological naturalism'.
Anders has explained to you above why resorting to supernatural explanations is the opposite of science. 'god-did-it' is a lazy non-answer to all questions. The task of science is to find naturalistic answers - this is 'methodological naturalism'. Scientists who are also committed christians also follow this principle.
However this does not require that scientists presume 'ontological naturalism' - the position that supernatural explanations are impossible. The point is that no such explanations are necessary to explain any feature of biological evolution.
I will get to your extremely muddled second post later this evening. So many scientific misunderstandings!

From this point forward on this thread I am minimizing direct dialogue with the poster cofty - Hooby
Of course you are.
Your intellectual cowardice is duly noted but that isn't how a discussion forum works. Will catch up with your latest offering shortly.
i have talked about him before on this forum.
he is now a graduate from mit!.
it was a lovely weekend.. i got to meet some of the friends he has made in the past four years, and some of their families.. they were very nice, decent, friendly, and enjoyable people.
That's brilliant. It's really satisfying to see our children enjoy opportunities we were denied.

Do they all get trained to wave their hands around like wooden mannequins?
watched the jw finance video's.. they have sold all brooklyn landmarks.
bilions.
they are selling other property maybe up to 3000 units worldwide.. so, there is going something wrong.... there must be a giant money leak.

Did you even bother to read my reply - no of course you didn't.
The OP summarises a very powerful piece of evidence for the common descent of all living things and you would rather deflect attention by waffling about semantics.
I used to be an ignorant (not pejorative) creationist too. Then I spent many years educating myself. If you ever decide to do the same let me know and I promise to help you.
