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
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
and the formation of the first protein
what are the chances there
we can't assign any probability to the first big bang
the whole "le protine" thing is a huge meme
no we can assign probabilities to it
why cant we
it doesnt take into account the shear number of possible proteins, the fact that the first proteins would have been much simpler, and the amount of time and trials taking place simultaneously
trust me, there are a lot of possible proteins
even so, the chances are too slim
