quote: Why, because orangs do not know Jesus, of course. After reading through Huang's screeds at Amazon.com, I would not be surprised if he, in fact, was to make such a claim.

The accumulation of mutations in tissue-specific genes would have no affect on tissues in which the genes are not used.

quote:Then I submit that Huang has never bothered to do sequence comparions. Even comparing members of the same species one can find numerous real differences. Steven Pinker and Craig Venter's genomes, for example, differed by many millions of bps, in addition to a nearly 1 million bp indel. Is the correct conclusion really that only a few thousand of those were neutral? Absurd. What is Huang's actual area of expertise? Does anyone know?

I see that Huang has also had a paper published in Rivista di Biologica, that crack outfit run by a creationist in which one can find pubs by Johnny Wells and John Davison. Of note is how Huang responds to criticisms.
Classic crackpottery. Shame so many have latched onto his nonsense. Molbiogirl also mentioned this conversation.Reading Huang's comments, it comes across as classic 'angry arrogant IDcreationist' boilerplate stuff - none of his coworkers thnk much of evolution, evolutionists hatemath, blah blah blah. Pathetic. Edited by derwood, : No reason given. Edited by derwood, : addenda

Please read through the thread first and then post a single message. Hold on. He's replying to different messages. And whenever someone replies to several different messages in a single post we all (including the moderators) tell him not to do that.

In light of Jar's inquiry, let me clarify.
Please, when you first join a thread, do not do it by beginning with the first message and replying to every message that you think merits a response. Rather, read the thread through to the end then post at most a few replies that maintain the current focus.

I tried to think of ways to test your ideas. I want to compare sponge, mammals and fungi, to see their genetic equidistance. Sponge does have a limited gene to control the development, but they are compared to the original gene regulation in mammals, the discovery and development approach....
