"I’ll even stipulate that humans may be descended from apes (evidence says its highly likely)'

No it doesn't. You have more DNA in common with a snake than you do a monkey.

I’ve read that we have more DNA in common with a dolphin than a monkey, but a snake?? Can you cite some proof of that?

Horse manure. I see that the anti-evolutionists' habit of "just making s**t up" hasn't lost its allure... Well, I can understand how you might have to resort to that for lack of any other option, when mountains of facts and the evidence and the real science overwhelmingly comes down on the opposite side of where you wish it would, and has confirmed the validity of evolutionary biology a vast number of times in dozens of multiply independent cross-confirming ways...

A wise man once said, "never argue with a fool, bet him money". Nathan, I'm challenging you to a $1000 bet right here and now that what you said is dead flat wrong. Please, oh please, take me up on it. Or just run away, and by doing so admit you're leading astray your fellow Freepers by posting totally unreliable stuff on subjects you don't really know much about other than what you've gathered from grossly unreliable anti-science propaganda sites (you know, the kind that falsely claim that human have "more DNA in common" with snakes than monkeys).

Come on, show that you have confidence in the anti-evolution stuff you spew by accepting my bet, then winning it by demonstrating its validity (or losing the bet by failing to support your claim within seven days). If you need help (and you'll need a *LOT* of it), you can examine and compare the complete DNA sequences of both huumans and rhesus monkeys at this link.

Or run away from the challenge and make it clear to everyone that you really don't have any confidence in the nonsense you post on this topic.

I've had it with the way the anti-evolution hacks spew blatant falsehoods and grossly fallacious arguments all the time because they know that they won't suffer any negative consequences from it. Call me old-fashioned, but I've got a greater respect for truth than that. So you're being called on it, Nathan -- accept my bet and let the chips fall where they may, or retract your out-and-out falsehood and apologize for misleading your fellow Freepers.

Your move.
