  Evolution is a Fact #1 - Protein Functional Redundancy

  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.

  Yeast, insect, a fish, a bird, and a mammal all have approximately the same number of Cytochrome C differences relative to a bacteria. - Hooby

  Yes of course they do. Even though I wrote this thread to describe the pattern of ubiquitous proteins in eukaryotes your point about prokaryotes adds to the evidence.

  I have asked you FOUR times to have a go at answering your own question.

  Why is the difference between prokaryote and eukaryote cytochrome c sequences exactly as evolution would predict?

  I will give you a clue. Think about the time-scales.

  We are on page 28 and you still haven't explained the facts in the OP from the perspective of creationism.

  It's almost as if you don't understand your own question - or the topic, or anything at all about evolution.

  Thought Provoking Question to a JW?

  did jesus ever utter the name jehovah?.

  and if he didn't what are the implications?

  nwt answers don't count but feel free to use the kingdom interlinear.

  I think it's an excellent question.

  The gospels record Jesus challenging religious traditions and the confrontations that ensued. Not one word about the divine name.

  Three possibilities...

  A - He did use the divine name and nobody objected.
  B - He did use the divine name resulting in massive outrage and the gospel writers never thought to mention it.
  C - He didn't use the divine name.

  Come on Hooby don't run away now.

  First explain how creationism explains the table below, and then tell us why cytochrome C in prokaryotes are significantly different from all eukaryotes just as evolution predicts.

  I have asked you three times if you understand why the diagram you posted regarding prokaryotes is exactly what evolution predicts?

  You are the one avoiding the topic not me.

  gg - Hooby

  No not really. It's only been worthwhile if you (or somebody else reading this) have learned something.

  Why don't you genuinely commit to studying the scientific case for evolution? It's clear from your posts that you haven't ever read any science books.

  I could have left this series of threads after this very first one. It proves common ancestry beyond all doubt. But I wrote another 39 threads just to make sure there was no room for doubt...

  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?
