Of Whales and Timescales
The changes involved in adapting a generic mammalian template into a whale are certainly not all simple, independent, single-letter changes.
Adam and the Genome and Synteny
“Synteny refers to how well chromosomal sequences from different species align with one another.”
Adam and the Genome and Human-Ape Genetic Similarity
Perhaps, humans, gorillas, and orangutans were designed based upon a common blueprint.
Common Descent or Common Design? An Exercise in Question-Begging
Darwinists point to similarities across species, classes, and phyla, and argue that this shows we’re all descended from a common ancestor.
Common Design in Bat and Whale Echolocation Genes?
Last year I wrote about how convergent genetic evolution is highly unlikely under neo-Darwinism, but makes perfect sense if you allow common design. An article in ScienceDaily titled “In Bats and Whales, Convergence in Echolocation Ability Runs Deep,” points to evidence that, in my opinion, might be best explained by common design. According to the standard mammalian phylogeny, the common ancestor of bats and whales was not capable of echolocation. Thus, the ability to echolocate must have evolved independently, and bat and whale echolocation is often cited by evolutionists as a textbook example of convergent evolution. However, the ScienceDaily article reports that these similarities are not just phenotypic but extend down into the level of the gene sequences: two new Read More ›
