like prions

which can spontaneously form in protein masses

which, under Pasteur's nomenclature, would be a possibly abiogenic lifeform

note: the increase in complexity in the fr is NOT continuous, rather, it spikes like in a boom/bust cycle

@Citizen Z I hope this gives you some context as for what I am talking about

One is an annoying blood sucker, one is an rabies carrying animal that eats up all of your food. That's how some humans like that?

haha probably yes

bruh

@IXI i suggest you read about something called the "phylogenetic tree"

and i honestly think that image is suppost to be a joke

well since people claim that sharing 98 percent of the DNA with apes means we are apes

so might as well

ok?

sharing similar DNA does not mean we evolved from the same ancestor

more likely that whoever created us decided to have similiarities

sure it does. Its how 23 and me works

why can't we apply the same concept to long term evolution?

because there is no proof that we have a common ancestor

especially when the results are consistent with other data

ever heard of ERVs?

so therefore assuming we have a common ancestor is pointless

"so lets talk about endogenous Retroviruses. When a Retrovirus infects an animal, it injects its RNA into a random location in the genome of whatever cell its attacking. Sometimes this genome is integrated into the animal, and will pass down to the next generation. It is believed that ERVs consist of like 5% of the human genome. The interesting thing is we share a lot of the same ERVs with chimpanzees" - me a while ago

and how does that prove that we have a common ancestor

dang that isnt a very good explanation

i should revise it

i understood what you said

but i dont see how it proves anything

i think like only the first 2 minutes are important

fine ill watch it

well the chances of this happening are impossible

unless we have a common ancestor

so you base it on chance

not evidence

like what are the chances of the same retrovirus inserting the same RNA into the same location on both the human and chimp genome

and doing it in a way which fits the phylogenetic tree

easily whoever created us has the ability to have it any way he wants it to

like if you believe so much in chance

then what about the big bang
