If we take away 40,000,000 mutations from the human genome, do we get the chimp genome?
Okay, thanks.It's not clear to me what you mean by 'Taking away a mutation'. Taking away a mutation would change the DNA... so it's just like adding a mutation. So you can add 40,000,000 mutations to the chimp genome and get the human genome. Or you can add 40,000,000 mutations to the human genome to get the chimp genome. The mutations would be 'the opposite' of each other. If C --> A in a particular spot going from one to the other, then A --> C going the other way around.
As I said, those were just possibilities. Maybe not good ones.
The point is that unless it can be proven how and when they
got there, you have theories, and specifically, theories that
exclude the possibility that they were created.

Add 40 million mutations and you have another extinct species.
Not if, along the way, natural selection eliminates the fatal or harmful ones, leaving only the neutral and beneficial ones.
What good will those two or three do if the rest kill them off?
Natural selection weeds out the good mutations also, if there
were any to speak of.
What is 'perfect DNA?'No, but we also don't live 1000 years and have perfect DNA
anymore either.
That would be Adam's DNA.What is 'perfect DNA?'
I think we need to be careful when making statements against evolution. I'm a creationist myself, and not afraid to tell evolutionists and atheists that. I see no proof of evolution. I get in arguments with evolutionists about this all the time. They throw "evidence" at me all the time, but to me it's not good enough evidence to prove their case. I take Faith Bible Institute class at my local church. It's an awesome class, you should see if it's offered somewhere in your area. John Yates mentioned something in yesterday's video which was interesting: Science is all about cause and effect. I remember learning that years ago: everything has a cause and effect. Which means scientifically, evolution can't exist! Something had to happen to cause even the one celled organism the evolutionists believe we evolved from to show up. something caused life to exist in the first place. Everything we see was created by something else, and any hint of evolution we see is because someone else did it. All the evidence I see makes me believe we were created. It's like the age-old question in a sense: what came first: the chicken or the egg. cause and effect. If atheists want to throw scientific logic at you for why they can't see God as being real, throw that at them. ask them about cause and effect then if evolution is truly why we are here.
Yep, and we're still working on the precise answer to that, although numerous hypotheses have been floated to explain the origin of the first simple cells.something caused life to exist in the first place.
Amen, brother!I think we need to be careful when making statements against evolution. I'm a creationist myself, and not afraid to tell evolutionists and atheists that. I see no proof of evolution.

I like your avatar, Hieronymus.So, another creationist fell for the bluff of naturalist fairytales...
Apparently not realizing he now believes in miracles from data corruption...
