I had to try really hard not to mention the 'brainwashed' comment. I was so shocked I almost had to put my tea and crumpets down!

There are a number of differences between myself and a gorilla, but the ones that would fall within the purview of paleontology are largely morphological.
The further differences would probably fall within the purview of other aspects of biology.
How about non-biological differences? That is the most important part. |

Just so there is no confusion later on, please define "non-biological differences" in this context. Being completely straightforward and defining your terms leads to a more clear cut discussion.

You said it, the environmental control. The environment controls the genetics. if the environment does not change much, genetic change won't go very far. |

Name any 3 non-biological differences that are quantifiable by scientific methodology? |

Don't worry. Brainwash is just another name for a dedicated study. One has to be brainwashed first, then he will know he was brainwashed. I was brainwashed by geology. But Creationism waked me up. | | |
