Want to know why people accept evolution ?
by snare&racket indo you have questions about or want to understand evolution?
it is a difficult concept to communicate and so if it is not explained well , it is understandable that we would dismiss it.. i sincerely want to talk with people who want to learn more or see what all the fuss is about.
we are all learning and increasing our knowledge all the time and it is good to go over facts with critical eye.. evolution we can discuss, looking at the foundational facts and evidence, one at a time for you to go and check, agree or disagree with and return.. no pressure to accept it, you can decide for yourself, also no mocking etc of what you have to say.. .

Largest Genome Ever Sequenced - and it's 82% Junk
by cofty inby developing new techniques, a team of scientists led by david neale at the university of california have succeeded in sequencing the genome of the loblolly pine pinus taeda.. the genome is 16 billion base pairs long - 7 times larger than the human genome.
so why does it take so much dna to make a tree?
well it turns out it doesn't.. the new sequence confirmed that the loblolly genome is so large because it is crammed full of invasive dna elements that copied themselves around the genome.

Classic repost from AlltimeJeff; recently completely - Free!
by WingCommander ini wanted to give this very public shout-out and congratulations to alltimejeff, who i have come to find out had turned in his letter of da, twice, then was read out at the meeting recently.
for those not knowing, atf was a 2005 gilead graduate, bethelite, missionary.
they mean the leadership.

Yes gypsy sam, the fact we are evolved matters.... it alters how we percieve disease, how we look for cures, how we endeavour to reach our full potential as a species!
It changes everything...

p.s. looks like a great little site!

It is wrong of me to state beyond the evidence. I can't say there is no god, so forgive me for making a comment that assumes atheism as the end point of knowledge. However, for sure, there is no evidence of a coherent designer in our universe. Quite the opposite.
As I have said before, he would not get a job with apple....

Well there is strength in stability too jgnat, especially in less changeable enviroments.
I wonder if orgnaisms with less junk dna, i.e. less mutations, offer us insight into better coding for cell divison? Reducing cancer comes to mind obviously.

Kate, you seem to be undergoing wild fluxations of belief and resistence. It is a tough time, I remember it well. At least you are quick to accept the evidence and change your mind, I took a long time.
Perhaps before you answer, research first. Junk DNA is a hot potato for believers, they assume we mean it is a bad design and disproves god. But thats like saying we go hunting fir evidence that there is no unicorns, it makes no sense. It is the religious who are sensitive to such information and evidence, it is not an atheist agenda'd attack.
Besides all of this junk dna is a poor use of terminology, but that is it's name and it is largely junk and unusable. Read up on it yourself. The only reason it can become uselful in the sense of evolutionary adaptation is via random chance that the junk dna hides a useful mutation within it...by chance.
It is clear you don't want to let go of a concept of god, but there is no short cut to research and study if you are really going to assign him a role in our universe. Right now, a perfect designer with a perfect universe has long ago been dismissed..... he would have to be a bumbling fool to have created all of this. I remember when I didn't comprehend such a perspective, there is no way to not sound elitist or superior, but I really don't mean to be. But if humans, the earth, the universe looks perfect to you, there is much to learn as there was with me.
Junk DNA is formed by cells cocking up as they make copies of themselves, it happens millions of times a minute in all living things, defending the use of junk DNA is a losing battle from its very conception, it is made by crappy design. The process of making junk dna is the same that gives us cancer but it also allows for evolution. You can't have benevolence and designer , it is one or the other..... or neither.

Atheists, here is a 'balls' question ---even for all---
by prologos init is very difficult to knock a ball into a hole (like golf), throw it into a receiver's hands (american football) intercept it and knock it over the fence (american cricket).
or to put a sattelite at the right time at the right speed in the right direction in the right place to have it orbit another body, so :.
what ingenious natural & process is it, than can get 9+ zillions bodies to get into the right orbit simultaniously or sequentially and have them remain there for billions of years?

Also we use a p value of below 0.05 in science, 5% would be outside statistical significance , we consider that within the mechanism of chance.
Ignoring that, becuase you are saying the 'design' accuracy is within 5%......which makes your god a shambolic designer. Would you even buy a watch that was within 5% accurate?
come on man, this is weak.

You have difficulty responding to questions don't you.
What is your point? you want to put your flag next to an old hypothesis that most physicists would be content to accept as a percieved coincidence or expected parsmeter when under the influence of our laws. Pi is evident in all spherical objects, the golden ratio is also evident all over the universe. We don't say this is evidence of a god, we research why it is that way.... this is how we have gone from horse and cart to space stations in a hundred years.
I assume you want to stamp 'designed by my god' on it because you have seen something that appears orderly, exact and measurable. As I said, why not stamp pot holes, with perfectly filled puddles. It is almost like the pot hole was 'designed'. You dismiss this analogy too quickly,,when you grasp it you will see why your hypothesis means nothing at all.
I think you know how weak this is and if you want to stand by it go ahead. The fact you are talking about these structures with terminology suxh as BIG BALLS makes me believ you are a half witted troll or a half witt. Either way you are offering nothing new to the world.
