The fundamental genetics between different sized people is negligible. You see entertainment and think its real. That's hilarious.
Quote:The story of evolution is no different than the hypothesis; "If dogs once ruled the world, then humans came from dogs." Then the rest of the story is how could dogs turn into humans? Well, their genes just mutated into human genes. :rollinglaugh:
Missing again. You show you don't know how mutations work. Wanna see how they work? What's your favorite breed of dog? You do realize that humans selectively chose traits from a population and bred upon those, right?
If not, why didn't God make the Boston Terrier? Its origins are younger than this country. We
observed this new breed coming into being.
But all dogs are the same? Cool. Breed your Boston Terrier with a Saint Bernard. You'll find this a bit difficult.
Quote:But the problem with the story of evolution is, Darwin forgot about the word "If" and "What if" became "It happened!":rollinglaugh:
Sorry, but a conclusion can only be as hypothetical as the premise is.

And since Darwin didn't describe his main characters, then he couldn't possibly know what traits they had in the first place! He thus can't know:
Evolutionary biology isn't a "story". Just because your religious text is a story doesn't mean that everything else is.
Quote:1) Which traits "mutated" from the "common ancestors" and which did not
The chromosome 2 fusion. There's a GOOD start.
Quote:2) How they mutated
Reproduction is imperfect. Remember that.
Quote:3) How long it took for them to mutate
Anywhere from one generation to several. CCR5delta32 came about in a single generation, it is a mutation that by itself can be done in one generation.
The same goes for things like blonde hair and blue eyes.
Quote:4) What traits the descendants had since he didn't know what traits the common ancestors had!
We are the descendants. Our genetic code holds a LOT of what you are looking for.
Quote:So again, if an author doesn't know his main characters, then he has
no story since he can't talk about non-existent characters. And that is of course, why,
no one today who believes the badly written story of evolution
knows the origin of man. .

Evolutionary biology isn't a story. That's not its purpose. You're reading with your "bible glasses" again. That's your problem.
Your religion has brainwashed you and locked you into a single way of thought... not only can you not accept a different version of events, you cannot accept a different
structure for them.
I have a test for you: I want you to identify a gene, any gene, that can be shown to be 100% made by design. I want one that cannot be shown to come from any other source whatsoever. Show all data and evidence for this. Since you believe all is created, this should be easy.
