Psuedogenes are good for Creationism!

wj writes:Hmmmm. According to Raymon's logic, howlers and spider monkeys having functional genes rather than pseudogenes and therefore should have longer lives than humans. But I don't think this is the case.

Loudmouth writes:This is only due to our technology. Strip this away and I am sure there are some larger mammals, such as whales or elephants, that would outlive us. Only 200 years ago the average life expectancy was almost half of what it is today. Without methodological naturalism it might still be around 45 years.

Raymon writes:Saying humans are the best at anything always strikes me as fishy. (Except for language, abstract reasoning, etc) After all, with humans we have a sample size of 6 billion individuals and we have a much better idea of when people were born. These two facts alone mean that we know the upper bound of our age with high percision. We have no such advantages when trying to determine the longest lifespan of other mammals. Add to that the fact that our technology is aimed at helping people live the longest. With domesticated animals our tech is aimed at getting the most use out of them.
But these objections are based purely on theoretical ground. If you actually know of research that's looked into this, I'll of course bow to the evidence.

Wow,I did not know you could be there.

If you could ever find faith in God,maybe some of your
questions would be answered?
It's worth a try.
So which science teachers are telling the truth and which ones,
are liars?
