Some nice illistrations on origional article.

It is amazing how all that DNA code just 'came together' by itself.

northerly migrants reach the common breeding ground earlier and mate with one another before southerly migrants arrive. This difference in timing may one day drive the two populations to become two species.

Well then, that settles it!  Speciation occurs, so stuff it ID'ers!

On a related note, Japanese people and myself are different species 'cause I can't afford to go to Japan and mate with them and that exchange student spurned my drunken advances.

Just an FYI ping.

The genome data confirm our close kinship with chimps: We differ by only about 1% in the nucleotide bases that can be aligned between our two species

Why is this evidence of evolution? From an ID perspective, this is evidence that chimps and humans have the same designer, and that much of the same proven design that went into the chimp was also applied to humans. But, of course, an evolutionist's conclusions are going to be colored by his own bias.

A friend of mine who's a plant geneticist tells me that about 85% of the human DNA is identical to that of the pumpkin. I know a number of people who certainly qualify as mellonheads, but doesn't mean we and the squash are descended from the same parents.

[Seeking the truth]

Recently, I read that a common field mouse has about a 97% match with human DNA.

Is this accurate?

with life as we know it all stemming from evolution and accident, isn't it odd that ALL animals and humans are so symmetrical? As if someone purposely made them? Evolution must have been the most perfect accident ever, to have so many species be so perfect.

The triumphalism of the Darwinian fundamentalists recently reminds me of the broadcasts of great victories on German radio in 1944.

40 million evolutionary events

I'm always being told 'just look how close chimp DNA is to human DNA'. Okay, so tell me, how do we know it was '40 million evolutionary events' and not some other number?

Oh. I thought they'd gotten around to building Todos Santos.

At some level every discovery in biology and medicine rests on it, in much the same way that all terrestrial vertebrates can trace their ancestry back to the first bold fishes to explore land.

Fishes?

We can trace our ancestry back to fishes?

Does someone have a copy of the pedigree?

Does anyone have a picture of the family tree?

Or is this all pure speculation?
