• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Coolest show ever!

Take a look at these two 10 base pair sequences:

AATGGCTAGA
AACGGCTAGA

1. The bases highlighted in red represent one mutation, what is the percent difference between those sequence?

Now, take a loot at these sequences:

AATGGCTAGA
AA-------AGA

2. The gap represent by --- was caused by one mutation. What is the percent difference between those two sequences?

That's less then 50% sequence identity. In direct comparisons you line the two DNA strands up one alongside the other, when there is a sequence in one that is not in the other, like your pedantic question, it's assumed to be the result of an insertion or a deletion. It's not it's just a difference.

What you you say it is, 99%? Because that's what Darwinians always say it is no matter how many difference, no matter how many ways it would have killed off the species to get there.

Is this supposed to explain why Evolutionists lie about the divergence between chimpanzees and humans in their DNA?
