Seriously Papias, you haven't a clue what is being discussed here, post this, post that, ad infinitum ad naseum and you really don't have a clue. It's the Indels, Darwinians cannot account for them so they pretend they don't exist. That's all this is, I don't owe anyone an apology and I'm not making any kind of a real error. It's just a semantic shuffle, a pedantic correction and the whole thing gets swept under the rug because it easier then the truth. The differences between Chimpanzee and Humans, Gorillas and Humans, cannot be accounted for when you factor in the size of the indels. It's simply unsustainable, especially with regards to the genes involved in the development of the brain.
That wasn't the question, did you go through all of that to make the point that most of the mutations in amino acids are neutral, that was the question Steve? I mean it gets tense sometimes when I bring up indels because so many of these scientific minds want to pretend they don't exist, that way they get to say we are 98% the same in our DNA as Chimpanzees. You the one who doesn't think the mutation rate changes if the divergence is 1.44% or 5%.
That's a long list, transcript errors are not mutations, remember that one?
Is it 98% or 96%? Well it all depends. If scientific professional want to say we are 98% the same it's not a lie, it just all depends. But if I mention indels in association with frameshifts I'm making a grievous error. Meanwhile, no matter how many fundamental mistakes the Darwinian horde makes you never correct them once.
I know why Steve:
We observed a total of 199 differences between the human and chimpanzee sequences:
131 transitions (66%),
52 transversions (26%), and
16 insertion-deletion variants (8%).
Insertion-deletion variants were less than onetenth as common as nucleotide substitutions and consisted of changes of
1 bp (8 mutations),
2 bp (5 mutations),
3 bp (1 mutation), and
4 bp (2 mutations).
Thus, 15/16 of these insertion-deletion variants would have resulted in frameshift mutations in coding regions. Approximately one-fifth of all single nucleotide mutations were transitions at CpG dinucleotides.
Estimate of the Mutation Rate per Nucleotide in Humans
So there is never a time when frameshifts are the most likely result of indels? Even when they are not triplet codons? I guess I'm not going to get clarification about that, or what the beneficial mutations you refereed to, or what you were referring to here:
So I go fishing because that's all the Ivy League elitists leave you to do. I find this pretty standard, straight forward discussion:
Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA.
A. most mutations are neutral; they either make no change in the expression of any gene, or the changes made do not affect the function of any gene product.
B. Of those mutations which do make a difference, most have a negative effect.: 1. If an amino acid is altered in the active site region of a protein, it may decrease or destroy the ability of the protein to perform its function. This kind of mutation often leads to a classic recessive allele--an allele which does not produce a functional gene product.
Mutation
That sounds almost identical to what I said but I'm a creationist so I'm always being corrected, it's the proper thing to do. Guess that's whether I'm right or wrong.
Except for one thing Steve, I know why you are doing this.
Have a nice day

Mark
