Evolution is more a beautiful idea than creationism could ever be.

[SkipTracer10]

Never show actual data to a creationist, it hurts their little, hard-wired minds.

As i said: you didn't watch the video. The similarities are not in the same number of chromosomes, in this particular example of human- other apes. But the Genetic homology that proves two chromosomes fused into one.

You can use genetic homology for chickens, dogs, etc. That will also prove common ancestry.

All i have to do is to present 1 question in order to prove evo:

Can you explain Plant speciation w/out using evolution theory?

@macro343

First of all....every single event observed in nature had or has a natural cause. there is no evidence to point to a supernatural cause. claims for a common designer is just a fallacy - begging the question. it lacks empirical evidence and any sort of logical substance.

Actually..only the scenario of common ancestry is true. As there is evidence for common ancestry. two brothers share common ancestry, not a common designer.

Ofc you can use chromosomes as an example for evolution.

@transtlantic similarity doesn't prove common designer, but it does prove common ancestor?.. Both scenarios can be true i can use that evidence as common designer too..

U cant use chromosomes as an example of evolution cause if we can use cromosones what about chickens and dogs that have both 78 cromosones? there twins?

Its ok to use cromosones for humans and apes? but not for chickens and dogs? :/ people are so desperate to find proof for evolutuion :s

@macro343

the point in the example provided by ken miller is to explain that in the past, when we figured out the structure of the DNA and what is a Genome, scientists, assuming evolution is true, thought that if we share a common ancestor with the other apes, we should see where in the genome there was a fusion of chromosomes. And That prediction came true. There is in fact a fused chromosome in our genome.

You clearly didn't watch the video.

similarity doesn't prove common designer.

[macro343]

ok, so he is going to use chromosone numbers.

we have 46 chromosones and apes have 48 thats a fact, cause we can see that but that doesnt say we have a common ancenster. thats his believe!

Tobacco has 48 cromosones too.. ( look it up) so that means that apes and tobacco are twins?

chickens and dogs have both 78 cromosones so they are twins too?

fern has the most cromosones (480) so that is the ultimate goal of evolution.

similarity can be a prove of common designer too..

[JAKEHARRIS281]

I'm kind of confused. If we had 24 pairs and 2 fused into 1 Chromosome shouldn't we have 25 on one side and 23 on the other?

@winterstellar The day will come where everyone sees the light and stop believing in their invisible friends.

@signatureinthecell A paper by Casey Luskin? Oh, give me a break...

[winterstellar]

Yes, reality and science is infinitely much more beautiful and interesting than any bronze-age fairy-tale could ever be. That should be pretty obvious, but unfortunately is isn't for everybody. Yet: )

man is nothing significant, if it was not us, it would be something else eventually, possibly something better than a primate driven world spreading pleagues of artificial intelligence,tools, etc, to make up for our inefficiency....if you look at the bigger picture we are taking advantage of catastrophic events to push our dictatorship...as lesser species and a mistake...as an ape, we cannot think that way, but submission to indoctrination as a tool / slave is in our nature. accepting it is not
