“that ERVs are conserved because they were likely designed into our genomes at the time of creation to pick up the genetic elements to escape the genome, to become retroviruses that non-randomly insert themselves into genomes to facilitate genetic diversity both within and between species, and perhaps even to provide specific genetic information for organisms to better adapt to particular environments.”

Ok. Now you have something. Pure garbage, but hundreds of posts later you finally came up with something.

What purpose is genetic diversity if evolution is impossible?

You previously claimed that only DE-evolution is possible.

Are you saying that retrovirus are agents of DE-Evolution?

Your so called explanation also does NOTHING to explain the pattern of similarity and divergence such that an ERV found only in some humans will look “younger” than an ERV found in all humans; and why an ERV found in all humans will look “younger” than an ERV found in both chimps and humans; which will look “younger” than an ERV found in all primates.

How do you attempt to explain this pattern?

==What purpose is genetic diversity if evolution is impossible?

First, Creation Scientists believe that a wide amount of variability can occur within the created kinds, but that said variability is limited by the boundary of the same, which is precisely what we see in the fossil record, comparative Cytochrome C studies, comparative hemoglobin studies, etc. Second, genetic diversity is important with respect to an organism’s ability to adapt to changing environments irrespective of Darwin’s atheist creation myth.

==You previously claimed that only DE-evolution is possible.

That is correct. However, the Temple of Darwin routinely mistakes directed mutation for “evolution.”

==Are you saying that retrovirus are agents of DE-Evolution?

Some still work the way they are supposed to, some don’t. The ones that don’t would most definitely contribute to genetic entropy. I really don’t like using the word “devolution” anymore, because it implies we evolved from pond scum in the first place. Now I use genetic entropy or genetic degeneration.

==Your so called explanation also does NOTHING to explain the pattern of similarity and divergence such that an ERV found only in some humans will look “younger” than an ERV found in all humans...

What do you mean by “look ‘younger’”?
