Meanwhile paternity suits turn on evidence of common descent - exactly the same kinds of tests as used in phylogenetic analysis. This is one thing that bugs the hell out of me - valid in the one, invalid in the other, no good reason given. All of a sudden, at some arbitrary remove from intraspecies descent, the self-same commonality markers elide from accepted common descent to hogwash 'common design'. The less like each other genome pairs become, the more commonly-designed they are! |
That is so wrong and pathetic. The tests use to determine paternity would show no relationship between humans and chimps. Different DNA sequences and different tests.
Also common design is both an observation and an experience in our world. |
OK genius boy, what about the use of mitochodrial DNA comparisons to demonstrate that a 530 year old skeleton was King Richard III? The same techniques often used for phylogeny comparisons. |
I bet the sequence used didn't show he was related to chimps. |
I trust you may be impressed by learning that around a 100 years ago, Dr. Vincent Sarich used blood samples from people and all sorts of animals in some complictaed chemical processs to determine the degree of immunological distance beween them. And in accord with the already well established theory of evolution he determined that the separation between humans and oher primates was very small, becoming increasingly greater for species assumed to be more distant 'relatives'.
That was long before the discovery of DNA allowed for confirmation that his findings were quite right.
Yuo might read all about it in "The first Chimpanzee". I bet you won't. |
And guess what Quack? There is a functional gene right where you guys say there was a fusion of two separate genes. The evidence for your scenario is slowly eroding away with the more we know.
