Wanda, you're an excellent example of evolution (or, lack thereof.)

There's more evidence of DNA, RNA, and proteins then there is of a magic man in the sky who made us all with a wave of his hand.

Lets start with DNA "creatures". DNA is not a conscious, living being. It's strings of chemicals (you know, like water? Or do you believe in that?) that are told what to make in the body.

And I don't think the Holy Bible makes any reference to Liberals OR Conservatives.

We are just computer generated creatures in a virtual universe. None of us is real or live in a real world, thats my guess. Its all freaken computercode.

@Wanda4DecentValues Slow down. "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:" -Isa 1:18 ... you're not reasoning. Yes, it's a lie that man descended from apes, but DNA exists. It's the programming upon which our bodies are constructed.

I'm a creationist, and I can definitely say that you're not helping the process. "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." -1Th 5:21 ... If you're going to say DNA doesn't exist, you need provide evidence of what you're talking about.

'These liberals' don't want there to be DNA, but they came up with this after many years of research, observations, calculations and thinking. You just fill up all the gaps with a God. That is a lazy and naive thing to do. So you don't 'believe' in DNA, but you do have enough imagination to think there is a God (created by...?) who all of a sudden created an earth?

Btw, we are not descended from monkeys, we just have the same ancestors!

why dont you shut the fuck up. the bible is fairy stories.. grow a brain. your comment is obsolete

[Wanda4DecentValues]

DNA is a myth and does not exist, made up by liberal academics to discredit the Bible. Libs also want you to believe the nonsense of evolution and the lies that we are descended from monkeys. Little DNA creatures, shaped as a ladder, giving your body "instrucionts" on how to behave and creating your orgens and bones?!? LOL! You gotta be kidding me! Has anyone ever seen a DNA creature? Who believes this tripe? If you want the truth, read the Holy Bible. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Wow, this is interesting! I sent the links to my Human Genetics professor.

While researchers have learned a great deal about the human proteome, the functions of most of the proteins remain to be solved. The genes do not reveal exactly how the proteins will fold into their final shape, which is critical because that determines what a protein can do and what other proteins it can connect to or interact with.
