No, I said pretty much every religion, not literally all religions.

No, you said "every religion".

I've already stated that every religion has a tale of a flood

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

Ok? I never said mice are humans. I said they share the same DNA as humans to prove that evolution in many ways is wrong. Our own DNA can change slightly even during our lifetime with our own thoughts and experiences.

I didn't say you said "mice are humans". However, you DID say that, re: mice;

Yes it does. It says they are between 85 and 99% dna related

which is NOT what your source said.

The source says that we share 85-99% of our protein coding sequences with mice. This is perfectly in line with the Theory of Evolution, since we would expect animals that share a common ancestor to share similar proteins, and thus, similar protein coding sequences.

You're right. Then I said pretty much after you asked to clarify.

So in other what you're saying is we share a common ancestors with mice. I mean. I already kind of said that.

You appeared to be shifting goal posts. If I misunderstood your intent, I apologise. However, for the sake of clarity, we should try to be as specific as possible. Especially in conversations like this. If you're trying to change people's paradigms, avoid making non specific generalisations, as a rule.

And I'm fairly certain everyone in the thread agrees with it. So what's the source of contention?

 

[Subduction Zone]

Yes it does. It says they are between 85 and 99% dna related

It does not say that. In fact it says, depending upon how it is measured , the similarity is at the most 85%.

Your inability to understand an article does not help you.

I see. So if you think hard enough, or eat enough cheese, perhaps you can turn yourself into a mouse.

Yea but some of them were really big. Civilization is different now, it's alot bigger and the world is shrinking and becoming more connected.

"Alot"? I thought you were a linguistics major. A linguistics major, in the U.S. would at least know English.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Yes it does. It says they are between 85 and 99% dna related

No, it says on average 85%. You cannot cherry pick because then it goes from 60 to 99%. And if you count the noncoding DNA it drops to 50%.

Yea well I'm also lazy and assume you are competent in understanding but clearly you aren't

 

[Orias]

And like I said, my thumbs make mistakes and my phone doesn't always auto correct and sometimes it changes words. You really are a broken record, I told you all of this yesterday

Sorry, 85-90. It doesn't really make much of a difference. It's still close, plus someone already admitted we share an ancestor with mice, even though there isn't any evidence apparently it's what you believe .

 

[Subduction Zone]

I understood, but you simply do not know English.

The most you can say and be honest is 85%. Otherwise you are cherry picking.

 

[Orias]

I understood, but you simply do not know English.

No, you're wrong. Obviously. It's you who doesn't understand, you seem incapable of having an actual discussion without being arrogant and insulting.

 

[Orias]

The most you can say and be honest is 85%. Otherwise you are cherry picking.

No the most I can say is what is said in the source which is as high as 99. Try again .

You made the same error more than once and phones remove spelling errors, they do not add them.

Oh so you know my phone. Do you have a camera in my glasses. Are you in the CIA?
