Another day. another parasitic ‘article’ from the brain dead ICR.
It’s only a very small sub-set of Christianity that sees some sort of dividing barrier between evolution and Christian faith.
The Vatican hasn’t updated its dress code since 1250 and even they find this a little puzzling.
“So, if these protein fence posts break down, the cell does, too. But how could macroevolution have occurred without rearranging significant portions of DNA, including these essential, precisely-structured areas?”
—Is there some reason that those particular genes would need rearranged?
“If some physical random process like mutation added new DNA or rearranged portions of it, it eventually would have knocked out one of these fence posts, resulting in cancer and possibly the death of the organism.”
—Yeah... that’s probably why the “fence posts” are there.
I would bet the ranch though that as various people’s dna are compared, variants in those genes WILL be found (if they haven’t already).
“If a lizard’s front limbs were significantly lengthened to become more wing-like—which must have happened for the evolutionary story of bird origins to be true—then the transitional creature would be both unable to fly and insufficiently mobile on land. A lizard’s legs are the size they are because they are proportioned to support the reptile’s weight and specific mode of locomotion.”
—I haven’t heard the “birds evolved from lizards” idea before. It’s believed they came from bipedal dinos.
“The precise structure of lizard limbs is like the structure of the genetic fence posts.”
—Lizards are a group of many species, each with many variations - each made of many populations with many variations - each made of individuals with many variations.
