because under the design model
Especially when the design hypothesis makes no sense of the facts.Don't try and slip in the "design model" as if it's a competing theory, it isn't. The "design model" consists of making unfalsifiable assertions and taking failed potshots at the theory of evolution.

I am not too in tune with sockpuppets or poes, so I couldn't really say. I have noticed a few poster getting somewhat irritating in their godless = christian stick though. That is usually when I get banned....Dad, do you get the same creepy feeling as I get when he posts?
Like ... you know ... we're actually conversing with someone "under the hood," and not he, himself? if you know what I'm asking?
That's nice. He posted already. Google bible.If your God disagrees, Mr God Ventriloquist, get Him to address the evidence and post here.
That's not what I had in mind, but you answered my question anyway.I am not too in tune with sockpuppets or poes, so I couldn't really say.

What's your explanation for commonly located ERVs?I am not too in tune with sockpuppets or poes, so I couldn't really say. I have noticed a few poster getting somewhat irritating in their godless = christian stick though. That is usually when I get banned....
1) Nope. ERVs can, rarely, generate exogenous retroviruses. But the question is, what for? What would be the design purpose?
These are the things you need to explain:-actually a lots of ervs parts are found to be functional:
Retroviral promoters in the human genome. - PubMed - NCBI
"These data illustrate the potential of retroviral sequences to regulate human transcription on a large scale consistent with a substantial effect of ERVs on the function and evolution of the human genome."
so its easy to see why they are an integral part of the original genome. also remember that you cant explain how retroviruses survived at the first place without an host (they need the host to survive). so the best explanation for ervs is that they was created from the genome.
These are the things you need to explain:-
a) What is reverse transcriptase designed to do?
b) What is integrase designed to do?
c) Why were ERVs designed with a viral codon bias?
d) What is the design purpose of re-transcribable promoters?
e) What were the HERVs that generated the consensus sequence that generated Phoenix designed for?
f) What is the design purpose of both exogenous and endogenous KoRV?
g) If chimps and humans have commonly located ERVs, what is the design purpose of giving these common ERVs common disabling mutations?
h) What is the design purpose of giving some people HERVs and not others?
i) What is the design purpose of creating different syncytins in different placental lineages?

What the screaming heck does all this drivel have to do with ERVs?
Jesus.What makes you think that when someone writes, "This is God speaking", it's God speaking?
a) & b) If you can place an ERV in a genome in the first place, why would you need to move it about? And why move it in such a hit-and-miss (and dangerous) fashion as is produced by using integrase?lets take 2 points each time. first for a) the reverse transcriptase is needed to moving the erv in the genome. very similar to a retrotransposon.
b)the same.
c)what do you mean by that?
Of course, if reverse transcriptase and integrase were designed to retrotranspose ERVs back into the genome, they would still not explain the vast majority of retransposed ERVs in common loci in two species like chimps and humans, as integrase cannot target specific loci. Thus that particular straw you tried to clutch at is waterlogged and has sunk to the bottom.lets take 2 points each time. first for a) the reverse transcriptase is needed to moving the erv in the genome. very similar to a retrotransposon.

I suspect that the (pre?) viri got transferred across species in ways they do not now. The former nature was not this nature.What's your explanation for commonly located ERVs?
That's like putting a donkey on the autobahn and asking why the donkey was not designed to go 100 mph.
Ha ha ha. You've had the same old schtick for years and years, dad. Where has it gotten you? Have you ever convinced anyone with your totally evidence-free wild speculations?I suspect that the (pre?) viri got transferred across species in ways they do not now. The former nature was not this nature.

And why move it in such a hit-and-miss (and dangerous) fashion as is produced by using integrase?
c) Google DNA codons, codon bias. Basically a codon is a three-base-pair unit that specifies an amino acid. Several different codons can specify the same amino acid. Viral codons tend to be different to, say, mammalian ones. If ERVs are not of viral origins, why to they exhibit this viral codon bias. What is it for?
