Ping!

[DB]

So when are we going to be able to simulate DNA on a computer. Or in other words, input DNA data into a computer and have it simulate the organism defined by that DNA?

[null and void]

How is Helen doing after the biopsy?

[GodGunsGuts]

Fascinating question. I don’t think anything realistic will emerge for a long time to come, as we are only just beginning to scratch the surface of the mind-boggling complexity that is life.

[tacticalogic]

We predict that future analysis of Neandertal DNA sequence data will add confirmation to creation, but consternation to other origins models.

I predict that no matter what the future analysis is, it will be interpreted by ICR to add confirmation to creation.

[null and void]

Part way there now. Crime scene DNA can provide a forensic anthropologist the approximate facial characteristics, skin tone and eye and hair color.

Long ways to go to do a whole unknown organism, but that day is visible on the horizon.

[YHAOS]

"Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D." Ph.D. Doctor of . . . ?

[P8riot]

These genes are associated with such traits as pale skin and red hair, type O blood, and high levels of linguistic and mental ability.

Well four out of five aint bad. I'm type A+.

Go ahead, call me a Neandertal.

[YHAOS]

"I predict that no matter what the future analysis is, it will be interpreted by ICR to add confirmation to creation. "

I predict that no matter what the future analysis is, Darwinians will condemn it as crap, because it came from a politically incorrect source.

Dr. Jeff Tomkins joins ICR as Research Associate in life sciences. Dr. Tomkins is a geneticist, recently on staff at Clemson University, where he managed a large gene sequencing laboratory. He will assist ICR in genetics research at its Dallas laboratories.

Evolutionists consider modern humans and Neandertals to be two distinct human species that separated from each other 35,000 to 800,000 years ago. However, within the recent creation perspective, Neandertals and modern humans are not really separate “species,” but represent different human gene pools in time and location.

Just like wolves and coyotes really represent different canine gene pools? Or are wolves and coyotes separate species? My dog has pale skin and red hair too, but he isn't human.

[GodGunsGuts]

Who knows, your recent coming out might land you a movie deal!

[GodGunsGuts]

According to the creation perspective, wolves and coyotes descended from the same created kind.

[GodGunsGuts]

PS I believe they are specifically referring to the specifically human genes for pale skin and red hair.

[GodGunsGuts]

No matter, the fact remains that neandertal just got even more human—just as the creationists have been predicting all along.

[Inyo-Mono]

According to the creation perspective, wolves and coyotes descended from the same created kind.

Yes, but they are now separate species, just modern humans and Neanderthals.

According to the creation perspective, wolves and coyotes descended from the same created kind.

IOW, "evolution", but GGG hasn't accepted that yet. Though his "devolution" evolution is hyper-fast, occurring in just under 6,000 years' time!

LOL!

So according to your "de-evolution" theory, they "de-evolved" into humans?
