How do creationists explain endogenous retrogene insertions without evolution by common descent...?


Endogenous retroviral insertions are arguably the best example of molecular sequence evidence for universal common descent. Endogenous retrogene insertions are molecular remnants of a past parasitic viral infection. Occasionally, copies of a retrovirus genome are found in its host's genome, and these retroviral gene copies are called endogenous retroviral sequences. Retroviruses, like HIV, make a DNA copy of their own viral genome and insert it into their host's genome. If this happens to a germ line cell (i.e. the sperm or egg cells) the retroviral DNA will be inherited by descendants of the host. This process is rare and fairly random, so finding retrogenes in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry.

There are at least seven different known instances of common retrogene insertions between chimps and humans, indicating common ancestry. I'll say it again, the same insertion occurs at the same DNA marker in two totally different species at

Man, they don't understand your language.

Asking this question to a christian is like talking infront of un-evolved African Primate(Partly monkeys.)

.

I doubt that most Christians will understand what you're saying, let alone believe it. Most Christians, those of the creationist persuasion, REFUSE to believe in certain scientific facts that prove evolution. No matter what proof you give them they have "faith" in the words in a book that they have no proof what written by anyone but man.

Man, you people would come up with anything to support your position. Next thing you know you'll be coming up with the molecular structure of fart to support your theory of how gas passes through the body and into nature and matter itself.

Is this a question or a lecture?

And you think theists are educated?

creationist tend to distort facts to conform with their belief rather than change their beliefs to fit with facts.

Creationists will answer your question with bible quotes or say something like god can do anything or so other copout answer.

I find it funny reading their comments on how and why they think creation is true.
