    I personally would like you to address cosmic microwave background radiation. Thanks!

    Big claims shown to be stories

    Well, the big bang theory isn't based on just studying a snapshot of the universe. It is based on observations of background microwave radiation and that everything in the universe is moving apart. The microwave radiation used to be light, but because of the doppler effect it has been elongated...

    Of course accuracy reduces with time. Without a sample of the genome P you can't make an accurate comparison. You can make educated guesses by looking at the genome of know descendants of P, but that is of course borderline impossible on the time scale we are talking about. Well, yes, I...

    An Alternative to Mutations

    Actually, the nucleotides in question is irrelevant, because similarity at a genetic level isn't measured by which nucleotides are used, but rather by sequence. Saying that it has to be 25% identical is like saying that any two given english sentences has to be at least 3.8% identical because...

    Big claims shown to be stories

    I suppose that actually presenting arguments against the big bang is out of the question? Also, I wouldn't have even wanted to be present at the big bang, given that it was incredibly hot, and being incinerated doesn't seem all to appealing. Well, actually that wouldn't be a problem, seeing...

    Big claims shown to be stories

    Not really, markers from just one genome is, as you say, meaningless. What needs to happen is that you compare those markers with markers from people both in the same population and in other populations. You can't really determine what the genome looked like at the time, but you can still look...

    Big claims shown to be stories

    First of all, I think we'll have to agree to disagree about that. But that's not really relevant to my question, you don't have to believe that something is true in order to make assumptions based on it. Which is why it would be wise to not make assumptions one way or the other ;)

    Well, the markers are just DNA that happens to be very common in the allele pool for the population in question. As for what the markers do, they're DNA, so unless they're non-coding, they code for different kinds of protein.

    Why are you assuming that the concept of time actually existed before the big bang?
