DNA similarities ARE NOT proof of evolution

I note with displeasure that you are once again avoiding actual debate and offering new arguments rather than answering your critics. This thread is supposedly about DNA similarities, yet your last post contains exactly one sentence about them, and a content-free one at that. Nobody would seriously claim that DNA similarities are proof of evolution, and none of your other arguments belong in this thread. Where does that leave you?Anyway, since you make so much of the gap in complexity between bacteria and inorganic soup, I think you should learn a bit about viruses (which are just DNA or RNA wrapped in protein) and, even more interestingly, prions, which are glorified proteins with many characteristics of life (but not enough to be called organisms, and no nucleic acids at all). Try Googling for "prion" and spend half an hour learning about them. Hmm... simple, self-replicating organic particles that appear to spontaneously generate. So much for the gaping chasm between life and non-life. We've known for years that it's full of such ambiguous particles.
