@jo3jo3221 I think that is pretty much what I said in my post. However, the building blocks are fundamentally different parts of nature and as such should not be used to understand one another. We should come to understand biological evolution by studying DNA and protein molecules, not the fusion...

@JesAllenMadden Overnight? Consider this. Point mutation rates (not including gene duplication, which is a major mechanism of change) in humans have been estimated to occur 1 mutation/ 10,000,000 nucleotides/ generation. We have 3 billion nucleotides. The averages about 300 new mutations per gen...

I thought God was infinitely forgiving?

Humans.

Why did you stop at fish? You need to take it back to the dawn of sexual reproduction (btw, most organisms reproduce asexually), since plants, fungi, and all multicellular eukaryotes are capable of sexual reproduction. At this time the gametes resulting from individuals undergoing meiosis were "i...

Whoever this guy was, I hope he matures. He is such a narcissistic jerk. Any of you who think this was about anything other than graduating from a great university are brainwashed zealots. You are so blinded by your faith that you refuse to hear the arguments as they are presented. Think for your...

@gayhorseseathaaay Its not a sign of respect. Its a sign of academia. All the professors/honorary degree recipients wear them at every college graduation.

Keep Lane as coach. I can't wait to stomp you guys year in and year out. This guys is an idiot and a fall guy. Oh well, we'll remind you of the overall standings in the ND vs. USC series after we curbstomp the trojans and all their displaced Raider fans this weekend.

Josh,

I'll expect to see you walking down that tunnel soon then. As Lou Holtz said, to someone who doesn't understand Notre dame, no explanation will suffice. To those who do, no explanation is necessary.

Go Irish!

I like how the guy doesnt know that Dawkins is an athiest that is hilarious.

The dinosaurs didnt go extinct. the birds are their descendents

why shouldn't the presidency be maintained by a scientist? It would make a lot more sense than a politician.

I dont think you can really make a family tree from a pseudogene. There is too much homoplasy to make a reliable tree. However, his point stands. Comparing DNA sequences really is the clearest argument supporting evolution.

Genetically modified foods are going to solve the worlds hunger problems. If you think that genetic engineering is bad, you are a fool. We have been genetically modifying food for thousands of years. We are just better at it now.

Organic foods are genetically modified. Humans have been genetically modifying foods since the dawn of agriculture 10,000 years ago. If you do not think this, you do not understand how genetics works. There is no added danger because a gene has been added to a vegetable. Though getting cancer fro...

@ecologicalguy I never said I hate anyone either. And I'm not Irish. But I do know a little bit about English history. If you honestly think Jesuits control the world, then you have no idea what a Jesuit is. Jesuits are primarily dedicated towards education. Not world domination. In fact, Jesuits...

This makes no sense. I hope nobody believes this crap. Jesuits are dedicated toward education. Get out of here.

Does everyone here know that European people are actually descendents of African people? Man its people like Eric Phelps that make me glad to be a Catholic evolutionary biologist. Good stuff.

Oh let's go after the Irish now. At least they can out drink you!

I love jesuits!

Haha. This is hilarious. I'm guessing this fool doesn't accept the "Out of Africa" hypothesis. Also, mixing all the peoples would not create one type of people as he suggests. That is not how genetics works. It would make much more diversity actually. Jesuits have a gold horse? Now that is a clas...

Have you ever met a Jesuit? Clearly not. Jesuits are charged with following the teachings of Jesus. That is, as Jesus was a Rabbi (teacher), so too are they called to be teachers. That is why most Catholic Universities (Georgetown, BC, Loyola Marymount, Loyola University, etc.) are Jesuit, with t...
