wolfriverjoe 1,523 #53 June 28, 2012 Well, it's nice to know you admit evolution is all made up and that we were designed by an intelligent creator. You even admit it in a different forum. Quote Agreed. In general you're going to be better off with the load centered over your spine as much as possible. That's the way your neck is designed to handle loads. No, I'm not serious.

popsjumper 2 #54 June 30, 2012 Quote>Some time back I watched a documentary about the KKK on the History Channel. >They didn't start out evil. True. Neither did Al Qaeda or their parent organization, the Mujahideen. They started out as an organization to protect their followers from Western (and Soviet) aggression and preserve morality in their countries. I can imagine what you could put in kid's textbooks: "Al Qaeda in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and the foreign aggressors ... In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with poppy farmers and women's groups."

billvon 3,111 #70 June 30, 2012 >Can you give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which >can be seen to increase the information in the genome? ===================== The birth of new genes by RNA- and DNA-mediated duplication during mammalian evolution. Jun J, Ryvkin P, Hemphill E, Mandoiu I, Nelson C. Gene duplication has long been recognized as a major force in genome evolution and has recently been recognized as an important source of individual variation. For many years, the origin of functional gene duplicates was assumed to be whole or partial genome duplication events, but recently retrotransposition has also been shown to contribute new functional protein coding genes and siRNA's. In this study, we utilize pseudogenes to recreate more complete gene family histories, and compare the rates of RNA and DNA-mediated duplication and new functional gene formation in five mammalian genomes. We find that RNA-mediated duplication occurs at a much higher and more variable rate than DNA-mediated duplication, and gives rise to many more duplicated sequences over time. We show that, while the chance of RNA-mediated duplicates becoming functional is much lower than that of their DNA-mediated counterparts, the higher rate of retrotransposition leads to nearly equal contributions of new genes by each mechanism. We also find that functional RNA-mediated duplicates are closer to neighboring genes than non-functional RNA-mediated copies, consistent with co-option of regulatory elements at the site of insertion. Overall, new genes derived from DNA and RNA-mediated duplication mechanisms are under similar levels of purifying selective pressure, but have broadly different functions. RNA-mediated duplication gives rise to a diversity of genes but is dominated by the highly expressed genes of RNA metabolic pathways. DNA-mediated duplication can copy regulatory material along with the protein coding region of the gene and often gives rise to classes of genes whose function are dependent on complex regulatory information. This mechanistic difference may in part explain why we find that mammalian protein families tend to evolve by either one mechanism or the other, but rarely by both. ======================= Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,594 #73 June 30, 2012 Quote I'm an evolutionist, No you're not. Quote but I do have my questions Ooh, I bet these'll be original Quote If its true, It is. Quote then why haven't we found the "inbetween phases". We have. Quote If we came from monkeys, then why don't we see us inbetween monkeys and human? We didn't evolve from currently existing apes (monkeys are different again), we evolved from a common ancestor that no longer exists, the same ancestor that modern great apes evolved from. We have the fossils of many extinct stages of that evolution. What exact inbetween phase are you looking for? Quote Why don't we find inbetween dinosours and the single celled organisms? We do. They're called plants. And fish. And amphibians. Again, what exact inbetween phase are you looking for? A bacteria with a T-Rex's head? An amoeba with claws? Quote Which has brought me to theorize that maybe, everything grew from 1 single celled organism, that just so happened to carry the genetic code for all the different species. So, there was no inbetween, and that everything just grew kinda like a baby to there current states. Buh? And no. Quote I don't know Agreed. Quote Touchy subject. Not really.
