==A link that apparently you don’t understand enough to explain on your own.
I provided the link in the hopes that you might take it upon yourself to read the whole thing.
==I am assuming common descent BASED UPON DATA. It is the best explanation for the data.
Creation scientists disagree.
==Your ‘common features means common DNA’ leads you to such ignorant assertions as that chimps and humans being more similar in DNA than either is to a gorilla being a “logical impossibility”.
I have never maintained that it would come down to DNA alone, as you very well know (as mentioned before, the neo-Darwinian beads-on-a-string conception of the genome is rapidly giving way to a much more dynamic and complex understanding of the same). And yes, I still maintain what causes chimps to be morphologically and functionally more similar to gorillas than to humans cannot at the same time be closer to humans than to gorillas. It’s a logical impossibility, and I expect to be fully vindicated as science begins to dig out the answers to this obvious paradox. Needless to say, study after study is pushing humans and chimps ever further apart. Indeed, if taken together, they may have already unwittingly produced enough evidence to show why chimps are closer to gorillas than to humans.
==Functionality of unconserved regions? Source please.
There are many examples. A quick search turned this up. Surely, you were aware of this, no?
“We also found that three of five unconserved Ndt80 binding sites show Ndt80-dependent effects on gene expression. Together these data imply that although sequence conservation can be reliably used to predict functional TFBSs, unconserved sequences might also make a significant contribution to a species’ biology.”

==What use is the GULO pseudogene?
As Project ENCODE is discovering, there may be dozens of uses for the GULO pseudogene that have nothing to do with synthesizing vitamin C.
There “might” be a function for the GULO pseudogene. But lack of vitamin C synthesis sure can cause scurvy.
The entire context that you “called B.S.” on was DNA similarity. The context of the long-running discussion was DNA similarity. The “logical impossibility” was that DNA was more similar between chimps and humans than between either and gorillas. Nice to admit that you were at least wrong on that point of fact after about a hundred posts; but now GGG revisionist history has it that we were not even discussing DNA similarity.
