RE: Ken Ham on Nite Line
Black people and white people were separate from each other for a very long time right? If we change over time, then why are, genetically speaking, down at the DNA level, over 99% identical to monkeys and also bananas? Shouldn't we be way more different than many of those creatures and things?
Not long enough and not separated enough. We were separate (with limited gene flow) so some differences did accumulate, such as differences in hair and skin color. But we were not separate for long enough to become different enough to become different species. And we are not 99% identical to monkeys or bananas. Though we are much more similar to monkeys at the DNA level than we are to bananas. That is because we are more closely related to monkeys.
There are billions of lines of DNA code and the differences between the codes between people and monkeys is less than one percent. There are some millions of lines of DNA differences which is still only less than one percent. We are more than 99% identical to bananas. Those are facts. You do not like science. I told you about science. You said science is a lie. You must be very religious. What religion are you in?
Those are not facts. Tell me, what do you mean by "line of DNA"? What is a "line"? How many base pairs? Do you mean a complete molecule? Humans have 46 of those in their nucleus and 1 in each of their mitochondria. Non-human apes have 48 of them in each of their nuclei. Or is a "line" just a certain number of base pairs? Each species of ape has a different size genome. How do you compare similarity between genomes of different sizes?
And the banana thing, you are just totally off about. Please show me any scientific source to back up your banana claim.
How do you compare
How does information and DNA evolve from nothing?
No one has ever said it did. Please answer my question, what is a line of DNA?
