Which bozo are you quoting there? It's not enough to provide quote marks.
What genes are identical between what bacteria and humans?
To: VadeRetro
Kind of reminds me of Limbaugh's montages of liberal commentary showing that they are all getting their information from Liberal Central. I wonder if there's a Creationist Central?

I wonder if there's a Creationist Central? If you Yahoo! search on "boy from Tukana" you get three hits. ("Tukana" being "Turkana" misspelled.)
Your 260 and my 261 at least prove that you and I aren't the same person.

I wonder if there's a Creationist Central? I assure you, there is. You will meet him one day.

Your 260 and my 261 at least prove that you and I aren't the same person. Why? Because they were posted in the same minute?

Why? Because they were posted in the same minute? And contain the same reaction. OK, I could be running from computer to computer here in the basement of the Kremlin . . .

”This has been a growing puzzle ever since the 1980s, when scientists first started looking into the genomes of different organisms and were shocked to discover that a fruit fly, for instance, has many of the same genes as a human. In fact, all living things share the same genes. Mice share 85-90 percent of their genes with us, cows 80 percent, fruit flies 61 percent and bananas 50 percent. How do these common genes make such vastly different organisms on the one hand and, on the other, why isn't the chimp more like us, with an ability to think, talk and create? “
To: VadeRetro
Most of the images of "archaic homo sapiens" I see around on the net indicate something more backwards than the neanderthal and, again, the neanderthal has been found to be too genetically different from us for us to be descended from him. The problem won't go away by being ignored.
Another take on archaic homo sapiens

Hendrix does not footnote his claim that there are identical genes in bacteria and humans. Sad! I believe that he has quite a scoop here.
To: theprogrammer
The plain fact is that we are presented with a geological record stretching back some several million years. Bullshit.

All that intergrading and wrangling over classification. Why does that happen?
It's hard to lump things into neat bins when nature isn't really doing that. What's it really doing? Common descent with modification.

you can't beat a Christian with four aces. Evolution is bunk. Five species (human, chimp, gorilla, et al) with the exact same mutation beats four aces.
To: medved
Yes, he should have said "4 billion."
To: gore3000
what sense is there in making up such a contrived, ridiculous, convoluted...Oh, to account for those birth defects I keep bringing up and which you always ignore the substance of. It's your conscience. The truth will make you free.
To: ThinkDifferent
I can flip a coin any amount of times you want and can guarantee with an extremely high degree of accuracy which side it lands on. It's a simple parlor trick. In fact, I can, flip a quarter in my hand, and without looking at pretty much guarantee that whatever side you call, the other side will show up.

Your 260 and my 261 at least prove that you and I aren't the same person.There are days when I'm not the same person, either.

Or you might be using one of those new operating system that allows multiple instances of your browser. It evolved from DOS.
What are the chances of two separate posters posting virtually the same idea in the same minute?
For you, the chances are so remote that you are comfortable postulating that it is incontrovertable evidence that you are not two posters. The point is, what appears obvious to you may, in fact, not be the truth. You conceed that you could be logged in as two posters.
I will trust your word on this and have faith that you and Junior are two different people - who may or may not be capable of reproducing.

Son, I'm probably one of the more devout Roman Catholics you'll ever meet, and I'm not terribly worried about going to meet my Maker.
