Scientists Unravel Genome of the Cow

The genomes of man and dog have been joined in the scientific barnyard by the genome of the cow, an animal that walked beside them on the march to modern civilization. A team of hundreds of scientists working in more than a dozen countries yesterday published the entire DNA message -- the genome -- of an 8-year-old female Hereford living at an experimental farm in Montana. Hidden in her roughly 22,000 genes are hints of how natural selection sculpted the bovine body and personality over the past 60 million years, and how man greatly enhanced the job over the past 10,000.

Junk science is more than a mere cottage industry, it’s a fortress of lies and denial that has little to do with Roque Fort. It gives a whole new meaning to the term bovine scatology.

This milky way bars the scientific method yet they graze on government cheese. Udder nonsense. Absolutely no whey.

Did they use Janet Reno , Helen Thomas, Nancy Pelosi or Hillary as the donor?

This article is a tax for those who are not good at math or sadistics. How can a team of folks spend years looking at a computer program, and then come out and deny that there was a Programmer? How much more would they learn if they ditched the evolutionary mythology that hounds their work?
