Mutations and Evolution

[joshua 1 9]

Do you think that the physical differences between humans and chimps is due to a difference in the DNA sequence of their respective genomes?

That is a part of it, but there is more to it than that. Unless you want to show us the theme to planet of the apes.

Is the rest diet and lifestyle?

What does Dean Ornish have to say about evolution?

 

[joshua 1 9]

Facts and well evidenced reality.

That is, if you have the stomach for it.

Now your going to flip flop back to brain washing. Make up your mind.

Hey man, your choice.

Crank up those defense mechanisms.

That is actually why I am here to find out what the contribution is of Evolution to Medicine. As it turns out not much, contrary to popular believe. I really was hoping that they were making more of a contribution then they are in this area. You would get a LOT further using creationism then you would evolution when confronting this issue.

Clearly, your reading, has been limited.

I understand though.

Clearly another case of projection because I am just trying to get at the truth. With science all your going to get is half truth. People are very happy if half of what you give them is true. Even if the other half never pans out. Christians are held to a higher standard then what Science is able to maintain.

There is very limited material to read dealing with the contribution that evolution makes to health. There contribution tends to be lets treat the symptoms and never look into the cause approach.

evolution makes no contribution to medicine, ask your doctor the next time you visit him or her if they use the theory of evolution in their daily practice.
OTOH, genetic research can provide valuable insights and possible cures to a lot of illness and disease.
controlled testing will be far more valuable to medicine than evolution will ever be.

Are you sure about that?

Google scholar turns up hundreds of thousands of articles dealing with human evolution and how it relates to our health.

Uh huh.

Whatever you do, don't ask Francis Collins, who is a physician, geneticist and devout Christian.

Well, keep trying, you may get lucky.

I am looking more for preventive medicine or the contribution of evolution to diet and nutrition. I already acknowledged their contribution to treating the symptoms and not dealing with the root cause of the real issues we are dealing with today.

There is a massive amount published on this every year.

Here's some to get you started:

Are you just not looking?

You are unaware of the role evolution has played in the development on lactose tolerance/intolerance? To our inability to produce our own vitamin C? Of the changed function of our appendix in digestion?

These are just 3 off the top of my head.

 

[Loudmouth]

Do you think the cure for my lack of knowledge is more indoctrination to the party line or more brain washing?

No, it isn't. This is why we encourage you to learn the science instead of indoctrinating yourself into religious beliefs.

 

[Loudmouth]

That is a part of it, but there is more to it than that.

Like what?

Unless you want to show us the theme to planet of the apes.

What does a fictional movie have to do with anything?

That would be your indoctrination talking.

Really?

What medical contributions have creationists made using creationism?
