Absolutely wrong. You didn't understand the article, did you? You do realize that the human proteome is 3x the size of the genome, don't you.
"As I said before, every single protein in a chimp could be mutated into a fully functioning protein that is identical to a human protein."
You are confusing proteins w/ genes. They are not the same thing, which is what the article was pointing out.
"So what again is the barrier to a 2% genetic change or 6% genomic change over a few million years of divergent ancestry if the DNA itself is mutable, and either permutation works fine for keeping the organism alive?"
DNA mutation is constrained. It is not random. You will never get a human from a chimp.
DNA mutation is constrained. It is not random. You will never get a human from a chimp. [excerpt]I'm starting to wonder about that.
And what do you think determines the proteome if not the genome? You cannot make a protein without a gene to code for it.
Every GENE in a chimp could be mutated so that it forms a fully functioning protein that is identical to a human protein.
You have not yet said how you think DNA mutation is “constrained” nor do I hold out much hope of hearing a mechanism. SEEING AS IN HUNDREDS OF POSTS YOU STILL FAIL TO POINT OUT WHAT MECHANISM YOU THINK PULLS THE SUN AROUND A MOTIONLESS EARTH!
I'll quit wasting my time with you, even though you finally did see the truth of the matter that a bacteria increases its mutation rate in response to stress in order to better survive that stress. Baby steps. Baby steps.
If we subject identical bacteria colonies plated from the same original cell to UV cross linking radiation, why after several generations are they all different and not the same? Wouldn't the mutagen be non-random for each independent colony, thus every change would be identical in each plate?
Do you think God's power stops at the Casino door? Do you really think that “random” somehow means “not under God's control”?
