==But this idiotic article fails to address the “slam dunk” evidence of Endogenous retrovirus, and repeatedly conflates genetic DNA comparisons with genomic DNA comparisons.

Are you having short term memory problems, dreamer? Your so-called slam dunk ERV arguments have been utterly destroyed many times, and yet you keep on using it.

==The fact is that a human gene and a chimp gene are around 98% the same...The fact is that over the entire genome we line up with chimps over 90%.

Well seeing how even Richard Dawkins admits that biological organisms give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose, it makes far more sense that similarities between biological organisms point to a common designer, rather than Darwin’s fanciful random processes plus survival fairytale.

Claiming something is not the same as showing something GGG.

ERV data is used to establish phylogeny of common descent.

Your idiotic claims to the contrary notwithstanding, you do not even understand ERV data enough to refute it GGG.

Here you go with the out of context quotes again.

This is the quote you are referring to.

Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose ~ Richard Dawkins

Now if you continue reading a littler further down the page you see this passage.

What about our own bodies? Each one of us is a machine, like an airliner only much more complicated. Were we designed on a drawing board too, and were our parts assembled by a skilled engineer? The answer is no. It is a surprising answer, and we have known and understood it for only a century or so. When Charles Darwin first explained the matter, many people either wouldn’t or couldn’t grasp it. I myself flatly refused to believe Darwin’s theory when I first heard about it as a child. Almost everybody throughout history, up to the second half of the nineteenth century, has firmly believed in the opposite - the Conscious Designer theory. Many people still do, perhaps because the true, Darwinian explanation of our own existence is still, remarkably, not a routine part of the curriculum of a general education. It is certainly very widely misunderstood.

So Dr Dawkins is plainly sating the he does believe that biological life was designed as all. It is just that the majority of people simply do not understand the “Darwinian explanation of our own existence”. These threads just go to prove that statement.

See GGG context is everything, and by not showing Dr. Dawkins quote in the correct that is misleading. This is not the first time I have pointed this out to you. If you continue to post this some people might get the impression that you are creating a deliberate falsehood, I seem the remember the 9th commandment has something to say about that.
