"The findings mean that instead of humanity being 99.9 per cent
identical, as previously believed, we are at least 10 times more
different between one another than once thought - which could explain
why some people are prone to serious diseases."

"Another implication of the finding is that we are more different to
our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, than previously assumed
from earlier studies. Instead of being 99 per cent similar, we are
more likely to be about 96 per cent similar."

And just think what new discoveries will be found in the future.

Could this just be a matter of one scientists interpretation of the
evidence?

Britain's Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which also took a lead role

Mostly just hype and journalist stupidity, adman, you should be used
to that by now. Have you found that honest and valid anti-evolution
argument, yet? The above isn't one. In fact you have brought it up
before, so when you have to repeat bogus arguments so often what does
that tell you?

Just tell us in your own words what you think that this argument
means. From what you have written it sounds like you think that the
estimates have changed drastically, and that seems to mean to you that
the technology and inference is flawed, but you already know that
isn't true, so why put the argument up again? Why lie. Where are
your honest and valid arguments? What does it tell you when you do
not have any?

Changing your nym to All-screeching-denial doesn't mean that you can
start over on the bogus junk. Most of us know that you are the same
stupid idiot that used to go by adman et al.. You only fool guys like
Pagano that tried to give you credit for trying to make your arguments
as bogus as possible as some type of rhetorical argument. If Pags had
known that you were adman he would not have made that stupid mistake.
It should also tell you just how bogus your arguments are when your
own side hopes that you are trying to make a fool of yourself.

Heck, if my waitress was a chimpanzee and she only filled my coffee
cup 96% full I'd raise holy hell.

What I found most interesting about this paper when I read it a few
years back was how;

The bumbling loonatic flights of fancy, that loons like Lenny the
loon, claimed, was turned on it's head.

Namely that (They Claimed) that "it is impossible to have the allele
variation that we see today, within the 4 thousand years since the
flood".

But CNV turns that gibberish on it's head, now doesn't it (That wasn't
a question BTW).

Did the biologists add in the final paragraph of the conclusions,
"Therefore, evolution is wrong and creationism is correct..."? No! Or is
this simply about a newer and different way of measuring the genetic
similarities and dissimilarities of humans and chimps? Yes!

The reference you give is awfully vague, making it difficult to trace the
original publication(s) without more effort.

However, an article in The Independent for 23 Nov 2006 gave some details.
What was discovered was that people vary more than expected in the number of
copies of specific genes that they carry in their DNA. That is,
individuals have a wide range of duplicated genes. So does that make them
really a lot different from one another? More than expected, but only in a
restricted sense.

If you think of human DNA as a book, containing instructions on how to make
machinery to construct a human, what is happening is that sentences, or even
paragraphs and whole pages, are occasionally duplicated word for word. But
the contents of the duplicated pages are identical to the gene copied in an
individual (usually).

A question also arises, what has happened in the intervening three years?
Any progress on the above discovery? Is the Discovery Institute's Lab busy
exploiting it to prove that ID or Creationism is scientifically correct?
Somehow I doubt the latter.

I note that Madman believes that, because science is an unending quest for
better understanding, it is fundamentally flawed. But really, it means that
it is the best available way to get closer to the truth.

OK i give up. how does this deal with evolution? it seems you don't
understand statistical methods or measurements.

including the statistical measure of creationism's failure: 100%.
creationism has always failed.

Yes. And I think it's a poor interpretation.

You, on the other hand, have no idea what you're talking about. I bet
you never even read the article. You just pulled out a quote that you
imagine supports your point.

I think you may even have made this particular point before, with this
particular example, and been soundly shot down. And yet you post again
as if none of that ever happened.

Whether humans and chimps are 99% similar or 96% similar depends on how
you count it. Any way you count it, as long as you count the same way,
chimps are closer to us than anyone else, and other organisms have
varying levels of similarity, largely depending on how closely related
they are.

As for the exact nature of the difference, this 96% figure comes from
counting each base in a long insertion or deletion as one difference,
instead of counting the entire indel as one difference. The latter is
more appropriate, since each indel is a single mutation.

Because instead of 2 copies of one gene per person being subject to

The above doesn't indicate that evolution is unreliable. At worst, it
suggests that some measures of DNA similarity need to be revised. It
doesn't affect the theory of evolution, or the fact that chimps are
humans' closest relatives.

Yes, I Googled for the first paragraph, and found it in several places, some
legit, but also on several religious sites, usually followed by a sermon
along the lines of, "The scientists are not perfect and unvarying in the
knowledge they gain, therefore creationism is correct." Followed by a
sermon of one sort or another. Literally.

If you read the topic of the post, it noted evolution's unreliability.

This paper clearly shows the percents are wrong. Latter research will
show a larger percent is wrong, a safe bet.

No, it didn't. The article related to the genetic similarity
between humans. It did not imply, or suggest in any way that
evolution, or evolutionary theory was unreliable.

No, it doesn't say the percentages are wrong, and even if the
percentages were wrong, it wouldn't mean that evolution was
incorrect.

No, you are the one that is lying, but putting up the same junk as if
it meant what you need it to say you are lying. You have to know this

So tell what the argument is and what it is supposed to mean. Why
can't you do that and still have an honest and valid argument?

You know that it doesn't mean what you want it to mean. You have
repeatedly had your face rubbed in the facts. You just claim pat
answers. What a bogus excuse. What you need are pat arguments. So
where are they? Why are you always the one holding the short end of
the stick?

Just demonstrate that it means what you need it to mean. Just do it.
The reason that you can't is because you know that you are lying about
it.

Just point out where I have lied. I can go back to any of a number of
posts where you lied. What about the clergy that signed the clergy
letter project. Demonstrate that I have ever stooped to lying like
that or about just about anything.

Really. You know that you are lying about this stupid argument right
now. So why keep doing it?

I do not do this so this isn't a counter argument for anything except
your own bogus behavior. Does it make what you do less insane and

weird...

the creationist thinks these scientists are telling the truth

but the rest of the time, the entire world's scientific community is
lyijng when it says evolution isa a fact

You may want to rethink that. A chimp can pull your arms off and beat
you to death with the stumps. A human waitress might just pour hot
coffee in your lap.

I see you dishonestly post somebody else's words without attribution.
Typical creationist.

Here we see the creationist in its natural environment, between a rock
and a hard place. We can tell it is of the young earth breed due to
the way it reaches, grasping for straws but only clasps thin air.

Put some money up now and I'll take any bet you offer. I'd stake my
house on evolution being right. There's far more on this whole chimp/
human thing out there than you are aware of.

You'd not be the first one to place such a bet and you won't be the
first one not to honour the bet when you loose either.

A little online digging led me to these articles:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/genetic-breakthrough-that-reveals-the-differences-between-humans-425432.html

and

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6174510.stm?lsm

A link in the second, took me closer to the necessary original
scientific paper:

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/

A search using “270 people” led me to this:

http://search.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/exasearch?_q=270+people

The third item on the search took me here:

http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Info/Press/2006/061122.shtml

And the link “published today” took me to this location:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/abs/nature05329.html

This is the link to the full text

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/full/nature05329.html

and the PDF version

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/pdf/nature05329.pdf

Now genetics is not my forte, but looking at the supplementary data
charts

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/suppinfo/nature05329.html

On page 12 of the first set of figures:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/extref/nature05329-s1.pdf

The losses and gains shown appear to be consistent with such
variations as would be predicted by evolutionary theory.

If you can do this kind of research and deduction then you should have
no problem finding out and verifying the real truth from books such as
the bible and other ancient texts.

What are you waiting for. You do want truth, right?

Or do you LIKE being lied to by a man made science that is limited to
the natural world?

All I have done is track down the actual research paper that the
journalistic report you quoted from was referring to, and typically as
you can see the journalist managed to make a mountain out of a
molehill.

And I suppose by "the real truth", you mean that truth which is
revealed, is unsupported by objective evidence, and has to be taken on
faith?

Why do you use the products of what you call "man made science" if you
have such a low opinion of it?

ah. 'other ancient texts' because the bible is often wrong, so he
needs 100,000 ancient texts to find ONE that he thinks is right

you want
