quote:
These tens of millions of differences in human/chimp genomes is not due to mutation but to design.
Then why do the tens of millions of differences look exactly like a bunch of mutations? What kind of design process would accomplish that? For example, why do the two genomes differ much more often at spots in the genome that have a cytosine base followed by a guanine base than at other spots? Evolutionary biology says this is because the mutation rate is much higher at those spots (as indeed it is); what's your explanation?
