There is no doubt that DNA is far to complex to have arisen by itself!
...and you know this how? That's just an Argument from Personal Incredulity. You see it as amazingly compley, therefore god must have been responsible.
That's what Behe said about the bloodclotting cascade, and look what happened?
quote:
But if there was a sudden creation of different kinds, humans could have some genes most similar to the elephants corresponding genes and some of the genes most similar to a perch than to other mammals.
What is the definition of "kind"? Specifically, I'd like to know what method or rule to use to tell the different kinds apart. Are domestic cats and Siberian tigers the same "kind"? Are chimps and humans the sam "kind"?
quote:
And God would have created a very small DNA-variation in humans and there would have been a wolf-dog kind and a coyote kind with slightly another variation.
So, there is a wolf-dog kind, and a seperate coyote kind? Why do cuyotes get there own kind and wolves and dogs are lumped together?
quote:
If chimps and gorillas started from the same point, then almost all of the human-like alleles went to chimps and non-human-like alleles went to the gorilla just by chance.
LOL! Except that gorillas and humans still share quite a bit of identical DNA; just not as much as chimps and humans.
quote:
The differences does not show that there was a big allelic variation in certain created kinds. It looks like an evolution of the genes.
I'd still really like that method of determining what a "kind" is and how to tell one from another.

How do you explain the distribution of flowering plants in the fossil record?
Yes!
I'd like to know how all of those flowering plants were able to run for high ground!

This kind of thinking, imo is what leads evolutionists rediculous extremes like constructing an alleged ape-man transitionary from a tooth or a jawbone.
Tell me, do you believe that the scientists who have determined, say, the existence of quasars, or electrons, or that spacetime is curved, are making rediculous (sic) extrapolations?
Why or why not?
quote:
Wouldn't it be more scientific and sensible to observe and consider the impossible odds of so many billions of random formations of complex things like dna, cells, human brains and trees to say "Hmmm, the odds here are highly indicative that some intelligent entity had to do all this?"
Uh, no, it wouldn't be scientific at all to do that.
