Skippy surprises scientists

Feeling jumpy? It may not be from what you think. Researchers at Australia’s government-backed Centre of Excellence for Kangaroo Genomics have mapped the genetic code of these marsupials, and were surprised at the amazing similarity to that of humans...

Funny how the article you keep citing still mentions that 150 million years ago is the point of divergence.
Thanks for the ping!
While the chimp diverged more like 5-7 million years ago.
But you would never know that from reading Carl Wieland's article, would you?
“This, of course, makes men very anxious.”
SCIENCE SPEAKS. Either agree, or turn in your microwave oven.
==Funny how the article you keep citing still mentions that 150 million years ago is the point of divergence.
That’s the Evo interpretation of the evidence. And that’s why the Australian evos were so surprised, because the theory informing their expectations turned out so utterly wrong. The fact that they still cling to the 150 million year divergence is an article of faith, not science.
If it were faith they would keep the evidence to themselves. The point is that the new evidence hasn't changed their estimate for the divergence time.
The trickery here is the creationists taking non-scientific statements made for the purpose of writing an article for a non-scientific audience, and jumping to scientific conclusions from them. I don't think Jesus would approve of the willful promotion of ignorance about God's creation.
OK, so DNA is like alphabet put together by an intelligence -- just like Freepers writing a post. Sometimes elements in posts from the same author begin to sound alike as ideas are repeated.
An artist often repeats themes that they have mastered so that their paintings have the same look.
Could it be that the reason that we share similarities with apes and other ancient creatures is that we have the same Designer who used a good idea (binocular vision, a pelvis, grasping hands) more than once?
