Precisely

Why did you call mutations “brilliant and ignorant”?

@RichardG

Last time i looked cut and paste or quoting whole papers was considered cheating within the writing of science.

It’s completely normal for scientists to send each other abstracts from articles they are interested in.

You have never shown e that yo truy understand even the stuff you specialise in.

Exons and Introns, Evidence for Evolution

There are many classic examples of evidence that support evolution, such as endogenous retroviruses or transitional fossils, but I would like to focus on another piece of evidence that I think is just as powerful and hopefully just as easily understood. That evidence deals with exons and introns. As a bit of a refresher . . . [image] In eukaryotes, a classical gene is made up of exons and introns. The exons are the sections of the gene that make their way into the messenger RNA. That mRNA …

In What Way are Mutations Random

This thread is meant to find agreement on what the scientific definition of random mutations is within the domain of science and the philosophical boundaries that this definition resides within. Random mutations are one of those topics where misunderstandings are common, both from a scientific and theological point of view. In fact, my understanding of these concepts could be wrong, so I encourage feedback from biologists and laypeople alike. I am hoping that we can have a productive conversa…

Is Evolution an all or nothing Theory?

What doubt? Why is it unprovable? Let’s take this step by step. Do you agree that there is an observed bias in the substitution mutations we see occurring in living populations? The evidence I am looking at shows that there is a bias towards transitions over transversions. [image] This bias is due to the chemical similarity between bases. The purines (A and G) have two ring structures while the pyrimidines (C and T) have one ring structures. Therefore, the proteins responsible for copy…

ERV evidence for pastor with a lawyer's mind

@T_aquaticus … I am interested to know what you have to say about this.

@RichardG

And as for the Evolutionary process?

What do you want to discuss?
