I suspect that as genes evolve, so do we.

[Ender Wiggin]

There is indeed a lot Darwin got wrong about human DNA.

Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.

Thanks for the interesting post!

Please answer. How much science education do you have??

It appears to me that since you don’t have the science education to understand some concepts and they seem so complicated to you, you automatically say god did it and that’s the end of it.
Even Pope John Paul II said that evolution is perfectly compatible with the Roman Catholic Church.

Maybe all the laws of physics, and thereby chemistry and biology were designed by God.

Despite the widespread belief that “we emerged from chimpanzees 6 million years ago,” geneticists observed that differences between people are caused by DNA blocks that are reshuffled in each generation in patterns that remain closely linked.2 This points to a relatively recent development for human variation.

Or it simply verifies Darwin's opinion that larger populations allow for more variation.

If a car company designs and builds a car which fails in its most critical requirements, I wouldn't put the blame on the car..

It’s plausible that the Creator “front-loaded” Adam and Eve’s genomes with full complements of a wide variety of both essential and non-essential genes,

Not plausible. God would not have front loaded man with non-essential genes.

4. Geneticists have no empirical data to anchor biological dates, so they must trust the paleontologists. Often, paleontologists derive their dates from examining the particular rock layers wherein human and ape remains have been discovered. Thus, their dates are often supplied by geologists. Perhaps geologists obtained them from radioisotope dating of some form. Thus, they trust the geochronologists, who in turn rely on dates from geologic column charts. Without this standardized reference, the geochronologist would have little basis for choosing which of the wide range of obtainable dates to accept, and which to reject. This circus of trust functions, not because there is empirical evidence for deep time, but because those in various disciplines universally conform their results to the standard dates, all of them being convinced a priori that deep time is true.

On what basis does the author submit that none of the data from uranium decay or astrophyscial observations constitutite empirical evidence for deep time?

You mean to tell me that humans aren't "evolved" from monkey's? Amazing...

“Despite the widespread belief that “we emerged from chimpanzees 6 million years ago,”

You know that the author is bonkers when he leads off with statements like this!

Wow. You don't see Discover magazine referenced in many scientific articles.

[ColdWater]

For example, John Hawks at the University of Wisconsin-Madison told Discover, “No one on earth had blue eyes 10,000 years ago.”

Evolution in progress.
