Does DNA rather then bones prove Evolution to be unlikely?

Question

Geneticist Barney Maddox reported from a study that science has now quantitated that a genetic mutation of as little as 1 billionth (0.0000001%) of an animal’s genome is relentlessly fatal.

The genetic difference between human and his nearest relative, the chimpanzee, is at least 1.6% Calculated out that is a gap of at least 48 million nucleotide differences that must be bridged by random changes. Any random change of only 3 nucleotides is fatal to an animal.

Genetic mutations on fruit flies in laboratories have crippled the flies that was experimented on rather then changing their physical and DNA structure to evolve them into something better.

Is there any proof that DNA can be change, or evolved into something else? And does this put intelligent design in more of a positive light then what was first thought to believe?

There is no disputing the fact that a living orgasm can change its properties. Virus immune to vaccines or a breed of house cat mated back to its parents created a mutant cat called, “devon rex” (Check out Data’s cat from star trek). This is called = Micro Evolution

The problem is “Macro Evolution”.

Example. You can breed a dog to different sizes, colors, shapes but it is still a dog. Viruses can changes its abilities but it is still …. Just a virus.

Answer 1

There have been occasional adaptations which appeared to help organisms... for example, toads in Australia grew longer legs, and were thus able to migrate faster. However, the fact is that the toads are still toads, and will continue to be toads forever.

I still think it's hilarious that Evolutionists believe that similarities in skeletal structure, DNA or enzyme deficiencies prove that organisms are related. Similarity does not denote relation; it never has, and it never will.

Answer 2

>> Geneticist Barney Maddox reported from a study that science has now quantitated that a genetic mutation of as little as 1 billionth (0.0000001%) of an animal’s genome is relentlessly fatal.

So, tell me, why do I need to get flu shots every year? If a flu virus mutates even 0.0000001% according to this obvious sham of a geneticist, it wouldn't exist - but they do! And they infect people and get past the innoculation of the strain I was innoculated against last year! Isn't that incredible? Those are some tricky viruses, I tell ya.

Quote? Reference paper? Study? Mathematical analysis?

Try again, next time with footnotes so the rest of us can refute this obvious garbage.

How did these enzymes "evolve" considering nylon has only been around for 60 years? Did *god* put them here?

Go read a book.

Answer 3

You are correct in your obervation about mutations. Mutations are ALWAYS harmful or fatal, and never produce anything new or better. They are always mutating pre-existent genes. For example, I've seen pictures of mutant animals like 5-legged cattle and sheep, two-headed pigs and turtles, but they are just copies, repetitions of the same genes. Nothing new is created, no new information is added.
You can breed fruit flies until the (5-legged) cows come home, and you will ALWAYS get a fruit fly! Guaranteed, 100%. You will never get a cow or a tomato. Heck, you'll never even get a beetle or a grasshopper. There seems to be a "black box" around each genus, outside of which animals NEVER reproduce. Sure, there is variety within that genus, but they never leave that black box. There are some members of the genus that can produce fertile offspring, and some produce infertile offspring. Tigers can reproduce with lions, horses can reproduce with donkeys. But you will never get a lion and a horse to interbreed (even in the lab), or a tiger and a donkey. Those are outside of the "black box". So there IS variety, but it is limited. If this variety were unlimited, then you should be able to breed a pig the size of Texas. With all the breeding of faster racehorses that have been occurring for centuries, why haven't they bred a horse that can go 100 mph?
It is interesting about DNA, because as you know they recently found, through mitochondrial-DNA, that all humanity is descended from a single female. Well, duh. I could have told you that. Her name was Eve.

Answer 4

The biggest mistake you have made here is thinking that any mutation of that size is fatal. This is far from true. While a mutation that minute can be fatal, it is not always. And once in a great while it becomes advantageous to the animal. This will then continually be passed down since the animal with it survives better, hence gradual change, or evolution occurs.
So while it may be true that the vast majority of mutations are harmful, not all are. And this small percentage is the reason for gradual change (one of the reasons actually)

Answer 5

Evolution exists and is occurring as we speak.

Simple example...A particular species of bird was taken to an island, and the identical species of that bird were left on the mainland. The bird on the island evolved so that it's beak was longer (like a humming bird) so that is could extract nectar from flowers. While the bird on mainland retained it short beak which was used to eat seeds. The bird developed a long beak in order to survive in its new habitat. It successfully evolved.

Here is another simple example...microbial pathogens have become resistant to many drugs that were used to treat them. Why are they resistant? Because the evolved to survive the drugs humans take.

Evolution is all about survival. We exist today because we evolved from some other form in order to survive. Animals become extinct because they can not evolve to the changes in their habitat.

In fact, all humans have mutations to their DNA. No one has a perfectly structured DNA. You have mutations, however, those mutations are not fatal to you. Some mutations are not seen and you never know you had them.

A mutation such as being born blind, is not fatal, but you could still live with that mutation.

Answer 6

No DNA supports evolution. A large number of mutations are fatal but it's when you get one that provides an advantage then natural selection kicks in. and when you consider the number of nucleotides in human DNA 1 billionth is a bigger number than it sounds. Also even if you somehow managned to disprove the fact of evolution it wouldn't make creationism correct you need to find your own evidence. Say no to jesus.

Answer 7

Both bones and DNA not only show that evolution happened but also a lot about HOW and WHEN.

Only MOST of the mutations are fatal. The ones that provide an advantage or at least no serious disadvantage are kept.

You are right though that most mutations are NOT advantages, an extra leg or eye maybe, whatever.

Answer 8

Yes, the TB virus has changed over time to become immune to our treatments. And that has been done within the last 100 years. Imagine that over thousands, millions or billions of years.

Also, we didn't evolve from apes, we share a common ancestor. So really that 1.6% difference doesn't work. Both us and apes are .8% different from out ancestors, causes a net difference of 1.6% between us and them.

Answer 9

There is irrefutable evidence of beneficial mutation that shows no evidence of design.

There is a higher error of fidelity in DNA replication than one in a billion in humans, so by the study you cite, we are all dead.

Answer 10

Neither chimps nor humans can synthesise vitamin c due to having the same enzyme deficiency-that is proof of a shared ancestry-it isn't a matter of theory or conjecture. The creationist red herrings sound impressive but they don't even come close to challenging conclusive evidence of evolution such as that.
