"Embedded Age" Requires Fake Fossils

[Loudmouth]

From the same link (above) we read:

"The GLO gene of anthropoid primates has lost seven of the twelve exons found in functional vertebrate GLO genes, whereas the guinea pig has lost its first and fifth exon as well as part of its sixth exon..."

So since there is a 36 percent overlap between guinea pigs loss of vitamin C synthesis and that of humans, are humans and guinea pigs now more closely related than previously thought?

If not, why not?

It's as if you don't even read my posts.

First, how do you explain the evidence of humans and chimps having the same exact mutation in the ψη-globin gene?

Second, do humans and guinea pigs have the same knockout mutation in their GLO genes? Here is what I said before:

" Due to the randomness of mutation, if the gene was knocked out independently in each lineage then we should see mutations at different positions. If the gene was knocked out once in a common ancestor, then we should see the same mutation at the same position. That is the test."

Can you apply this to the human and guinea pig GLO pseudogenes?

Maybe in your neck of the woods ... but God sees them differently.

Hebrews 11:38a ( Of whom the world was not worthy: )

Your God is a book?

Jesus is the Word.

Jesus is the Word.

So someone wrote a generation or so after his death.

What's the matter, Rick?

The authors weren't martyred soon enough?

Which authors?

 

[Loudmouth]

Jesus is the Word.

Then why do you keep quoting a book?

 

[AV1611VET]

Which authors?

Does it matter?

 

[bhsmte]

Does it matter?

All depends if they were authors or not.

No AV, it is just the fact that everything we know about Jesus was not written until a generation or more after his death. That neither invalidates the Gospels nor affirms them. Facts are facts whether you are willing to accept them or not.

And was written by anonymous authors.

I never claimed Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were not written a generation after Jesus' death.

They may very well have been.

After all, Shem could have written Genesis 10-11 four hundred years after the Flood.

Time mitigates nothing when God is the ultimate author.

I'll humor this post to still make my point:

What's the matter? They didn't die soon enough for what they wrote?

That's just it, there is no way to validate the actual author and that is why I do not view the bible as literal.

Fine ... don't validate it.

Just don't overlook my point.

People die all the time for various reasons, so what?

The point being what? The longer the length of time between the events and when they were written, the less reliable the account is going to be, that's just how it is.

And yet they took a chance and wrote it anyway ... then paid for it with their lives.

I wonder What prompted them to write it in the first place .. don't you?

Perhaps it was the Holy Ghost?

Paying for it with their lives doesn't make it true. It doesn't even mean they thought it was true.
