And if scientists can't take the same ingredients required for life and reproduce it ?
Have you not been paying attention? Species don't share 203,000 ERVs because they are merely similar. They share them because they are related. Do we need to give you the Little Golden Book version to help you understand?
You're still conflating human technology with biology. Biologically we are much more similar to chimpanzees than we are different.
"Similarities"...????
There are over 200,000 of those IDENTICAL LOCATIONS, in a genome containing 3 BILLION possible location sites!
The probability of all of those insertions lining up with a 99.98% level of accuracy is approximately 1:9x10^13...!!
In other words, for all practical purposes, it's virtually impossible!
The ONLY viable explanation is that both ourselves and chimpanzees have a common genetic link. It is through that link that these insertion remnants have been passed down.
It is the same process by which we can be 99% sure that you are your father's son.....!
Once,again you assume they are related despite the major differences. Once again it's evidence of common design,from an intelligent designer.
Still,an assumption. Kind,of interesting how you will use odds for this but completely dismiss the odds of evolution being able to happen.
But we can see the sun working and we can prove it works. We can't see evolution at work coming from a common ancestor.Juvenile tripe......this is what you people are reduced to, isn't it? You can't construct mature arguments to counter the wealth of scientific data, so you resort to the approach of a third grader....!
'Scientists can't take the ingredients for a volcano, so they can't happen!'
'Scientists can't make an ongoing nuclear fusion, so the sun doesn't work!'
Grow up....!

It wouldn't make any difference. Even if they did succeed, God's creative involvement in the experiment on the same footing as the original creation of life could not be ruled out. ID is a non-falsifiable proposition.

So you have the answers , school me about how life began and evolved ?
How life began is still an open question. My point was, that if scientists made life in a lab, God could involve himself in the experiment in the same way he involved himself in the original event and we wouldn't be any the wiser.So you have the answers , school me about how life began and evolved ?
Well I'm still not accepting that but I will look into the subject further.The last common ancestor of humans and our fellow Catarrhines (colloquially known as monkeys) lived almost 30 million years ago. There has been a lot of evolution in the Hominid (colloquially known as apes) and Hominin (Australopithecine and Homo) lineages since then.

No, I am not a religious person, so I don't claim to have all the answers....!
Take careful note....in your world you probably don't come across much honesty.........the honest answer is I/we don't know how life first arose.
Did you get that...? We. Don't. Know.
But, we will continue to try to find out. There are some very tentative hypotheses, but none of these are close to being accepted as a theory. The only related statement we can make with some confidence is that there was a time when no life existed and now there is. And that that life is very much tied to the natural process extant on this planet. That being the case, it is highly likely that some natural process was involved in the origin of life.
The second part of your query about how life evolved is one that we answer with much more confidence..........through the twin processes of imperfect reproduction (mutation) and the mathematically based filter of natural selection.
As has been pointed out numerous times, the problem with "common design" is that it's an ad hoc proposition that lacks predictive or explanatory power and cannot be falsified thus rendering it unscientific. You would also need to explain things like:
- Why humans and chimpanzees share 203,000 ERVs
- Why all primates, including humans, share a broken GULO gene.
- Why whales have a broken gene package for hind leg development and develop hind limb buds in utero.
Soylent Green is people
Actually evolution got started some time after abiogenesis, if that was the source of the origin of life. It would have to have gotten to the point where it was reproducing and passing along DNA to offspring before evolution kicks in.
Identical Broken Gemes prove what?
To argue that the same broken genes in man and chimpanzee are good evidence of relationship certainly sounds logical – until you discover that broken vitamin C genes are also found in creatures such as guinea pigs and bats. So far we have not found any evolutionist who wants to claim common Vitamin C mutations must mean man ascended from guinea pigs or bats!
....Ascribing something to a “common ancestor” that no longer exists is a common evolutionary ploy to explain a patchy distribution of a gene, but it is really just wishful thinking to fit an already held belief in evolution

As demonstrated in this report, the GULO region is clearly chromatin repressed in a heritable fashion and not transcriptionally active. Based on the current state of genomic information presented in this report, the bulk of evidence indicates that the human GULO gene is pseudogenized via deletions occurring as a result of unequal recombination associated with transposable element repeats. These exon deletion events are taxonomically restricted in humans and in each of the different ape species tested. And in combination with an extreme lack of sequence similarity over the entire GULO locus, utterly negate the idea of macroevolutionary common ancestry.
If you're serious about learning, "The Greatest Show on Earth" is a great book to introduce you to the subject.
