Creationists: Does any of this make you wonder?

Question

- That genetic markers are carried through dozens of species right through the great apes to man?
- How do you explain that the DNA of humans and chimpanzee is 98-99% identical?
- How do you explain that chimpanzees use simple tools?
- How do you explain that chimpanzees and gorillas can acquire sign language and have been observed passing it onto their offspring?

Answer 1

no.
Merry Christmas!!

Answer 2

Friend you try to bring in DNA, unless DNA is 100% pure , then it is not true, You can't have both a right answer & a wrong answer. You use the chimpanzees as an example,& try to think we will believe in evolution, forget it, They even also found out the same thing by rats, why do you think most medical tests is run on rats. As far as sign language, my wife can really tell you a lesson about that, but I will not wake her up, Her daughter was born deaf from birth, My wife has even taught our house dog some sign language. Animals did not lose their intellengence when sin came into the picture, Now you ask me as a creationists, does any of this make me wonder, NO, I have already study the animal kingdom & Nature, why should it make me wonder, Everything you said does not prove evolution nor of any animal having a soul.

Answer 3

a 1% difference, means how many base pairs of Adenine Guanine, Thymine and Cytosine??

DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes--physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 million to 250 million base pair

A 1.83% difference between Chimps and Humans (read from a scientific journal) means that 500,000 to 2 500 000 base pair difference. Substitution, or missense mutations, could not add this many base pairs. Natural selection does not explain how the base pairs are added to the genome, rather it only explains that certain genotypes will increase in density over time if they are beneficial.

Its not up to me to make you believe, rather if you choose to accept an explanation which incorporate randomness in it, go ahead. But remember I am innocent of the deeds that you do, while you are innocent of the deeds that I do.

A little guidance

[010:036] And most of them follow nothing but conjecture. Certainly, conjecture can be of no avail against the truth. Surely, God is All-Knower of what they do.

[010:037] And this Qur'ân is not such as could ever be produced by other than God (Lord of the heavens and the earth), but it is a confirmation of (the Revelation) which was before it [i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injîl (Gospel)], and a full explanation of the Book (i.e. the laws decreed for mankind) – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the 'Âlamîn (mankind, jinn, and all that exists).

Answer 4

Genetic markers - similar problems, similar solutions...why reinvent the wheel

98-99% identical DNA - How do evolutionists explain the loss of two chromosomes going from ape to man and the presence of unique chromosome in each?

Chimps using tools - good for them. God gives every creature exactly what it needs.

Sign language - most animals communicate and most learn. Dolphins have been observed doing the same using touch screen monitors and pictures when communicating with humans.

Does it make me wonder? Yes, the vastness, complexity and inter-relatedness of God's creation is an endless source of wonderment.

Answer 5

I don't see what bearing those facts have on the whole issue of creation versus evolution.
Here's something amusing for you to think about:
Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny, although measurable distance from the earth every year.
If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet from the earth's surface.

This would explain the death of the dinosaurs.

The tallest ones, anyway.

Answer 6

They're all compelling evidence but you missed out the indisputable proof of shared ancestry. Mankind and primates have the same enzyme deficiency that prevents their bodies synthesising vitamin c. Defects like that can only occur if there is a shared ancestor so creationists can't argue with that fact.

Answer 7

1. All things were created from one being and he used similar genetic markers to create them all.

2. Again read the first answer.

3. Dogs can be trained to poop outside so why wouldn't chimps use tools?

4. I teach sign language and I have never seen a gorilla that truly uses the language properly. Even a dog can be taught to "sit" or "roll over" but that does not mean it can speak English.

Answer 8

How do you explain that we are 1-2% un-identical from chimps?

And Llamas also have heads, so are you almost a Llama?

Dogs play frisbee, so are you almost a dog?

Some birds can 'talk'...are you a bird?

None of these creatures are human. God created all of us, so why wouldn't his other creatures be made of similar building blocks and have some similar abilities?

If you are still unsure what the fundamental differences are between Great Apes and Humans, then perhaps you need more help than Yahoo Answers can provide.

Answer 9

Personally, I find all of this lovely and very affirming. Creationist, on the other hand, will find a way to make everything you've stated here be the result of some unknowable force.

Answer 10

God made all that chimp stuff to fool humans so that only the very simple ones would believe in him ("come to me as a little child") and all the smart ones would be atheists!

Answer 11

check out www.clarifyingchristianity.com -it's that or something like it. it's a really cool website that was originally created for evolutionists, but as the people were trying to find evidence for evolution, they instead found stuff for christianity and turned the website around. please check it out. It's so cool!
