Enjoy!
Science in action Ping.
Than how do you explain liberals?
"Humans march to a faster genetic 'drummer' than primates"
Uh, humans ARE primates. Maybe someone missed the word "other."
"humans and primates are ...so clearly different biologically and intellectually."
Not all of them, not all.
To many are 'rats. It has a toxic effect on them.
Not to mention the different spiritual component.
Humans are created in the image of God (and I contend that means the spiritual realm, not the physical).
Apes, chimps, etc are not "imago Dei".
Multispectral Galaxy Studies Contradict Theories 08/27/2004
The latest issue of Caltech’s magazine Engineering and Science1 has beautiful pictures of galaxies taken in ultraviolet by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), and in the infrared by Hubble’s sister, the Spitzer Space Telescope. Combining images of the same galaxy in visible, ultraviolet and infrared is helping astronomers figure out their structure, and as D. Christopher Martin claims, the origin and evolution of galaxies and stars. Why, then, at the end of the article, does he say this?
The interesting thing is that the history we have measured completely disagrees with some of the most recent models. (Emphasis added in all quotes.)He had just pointed out that “our early results seem to be telling us that star formation was much more vigorous in the past” and that “something has changed very radically about star formation since that time....”
"We are not contending that natural selection does not exist....."
How is this finding "counter to natural selection", as you claim?
It's not my claim. I quoted from the article.
Excellent article! It should have a thread of it's own.
Here we trace the evolution of AluYb8 repeats from a single origin at the roots of higher primates to a large increase in their number in humans.
In round numbers, 2200 AluYb8 elements came into existence within about five million years of the human lineage.
Counting only non-CpG mutations (CpG dinucleotides mutate abnormally fast33) gave a total of 2682 mutations/537,072 sites, or 4.99 £ 1023/site. Dividing this number by the rate of change in primate introns of 1.5 £ 1029/site per year,34 yields an estimated age of 3.3 million years for this Alu family. This is in fairly good agreement with the estimated five million years of separation of the human and chimpanzee lineages, but it also indicates that the AluYb8 family was dispersing throughout the entire period of the human lineage.
It's good to see the Creationists endorsing an article supporting the common lineage of humans and other primates and that supports the paleobiological time estimates.
I think I saw that episode on the X-Files...
Special creation, anyone?
"Primates" is a two syllable series of sounds used to refer to a number of animals that share some characteristics according to criteria assigned to that designation. Because of a belief that human beings are an advanced form of that classification of animals, the term is applied to human beings.
By the human beings who believe they are descended from "primates".
So what's our excuse?
Whussat? Can't hear you over these damn drums...
My excuse is that my parents made me play with one of these evil things:
Since then, I've had problems with both drummers and primates, but especially creepy primates with cymbals.
