There's a hell of a lot more to a cell than an single nucleotide substitution.

Maybe the two of you should define your terms and the scope of your statements before getting into an all-out cat fight.

(Mrrrow, fffft)

Cheers!

....The Bible says nothing of this thing you call DNA.

Really? What does the word 'rib' as used in Genesis 2:21 literally mean from its 'origin'. The word 'rib' got used by someone long before the DNA image was ever discovered. But DNA sure is 'curvy'.

Thank you for the ping. I sure do not expect a mass conversion regardless of the facts. Maybe it is the ‘time’ factor that has been wrongly calculated? I cannot help but be reminded of IKings 18:21-40

That one bolt wasn’t, in my analogy, each car represents the entire genome.

It certainly was and the "bolt" was used to bolster the claim of the relationship between the two "cars". In any case, this image shows that the discussion concerns more than a single base pair.

Without the general labels "human" or "chimpanzee" could you reasonably claim any close relationship between the two chromosomes?

I’m not about fighting at this point. I’ve done my studying and have come to the conclusion that God made us, the animals and our environment without ‘evolving’ us from a single cell or a common ancestor.

There is enough evidence out there to support that, but being that I’m not a scientist, getting into it wouldn’t yield much.

God made us all with free will, which gives us the power to choose what we want to believe. I choose God. If someone else chooses to put their faith in the ‘uncaused cause’ which brought about life in many forms, the flora, and the fauna, from base elements, then that’s their choice.

What happens because of it, is between God and them.
