OK, Russell, for the (n+1)th time ... 95% similarity between apes and humans supports common design in the same way as it does in house building or car building, for example. A Ford Aerostar is 95% (?) similiar to a Ford Fiesta (do they still make those?) and this is because they have a common designer. You see? Again, this is not rocket science and does not require a PhD (or even a biology degree).

Did you actually retire from the Air Force or did you resign your commission sooner than that? |
Went on reserve status when I got out in 1996, then resigned my commission this year.

You guys just can't get used to the fact that you lost the Portuguese thing, can you ...
| Quote | | I haven't read Dr Max's argument but if you think you have refuted the claim that the GULO gene does not support common descent you are sadly mistaken. |
You haven't even read the article and yet you disagree with me when I say I have refuted it?
Whoa! ... well, I was warned about this kind of stuff ...
| Quote | | why it's not which mutation broke the gene, but the remarkable simillarities in the accumulated mutations in the broken part between humans and primates that matter- |
You guys cannot get your story straight. You say it's the similarities in the broken part, Jeannot says "you can't consider the loss of function alone as a valid evidence for common descent, because hundreds of mutations can break a gene."
Come on guys. Face it. Apes and humans have some striking similarities, I agree. Apes and humans both have what appears to be a broken GULO gene. So what? This does not prove Common Descent.

Great. And I'll back off my "liar" claim for the T.O folks. I will content myself to think they are just ignorant.
