A Thought on Evolution
Take a Ford and a Chevrolet, two automobiles that were intelligently designed. Now, try to take the engine from the Ford and put it in a Chevrolet. Does it fit? Can it be used? The answer is no. How about the door handle? The answer is no again. How about the headlight? The answer is no again. In this example, intelligent design does not result in interchangeable parts.
Now, take a human and a yeast. Take a human gene and put it in a yeast. Does it fit? Can it be used? The answer is yes. A quick search of google.com for “human yeast complementation” results in many examples of human genes complementing yeast genes and vice versa.
How can a yeast gene work in a human? It works ecause yeasts and humans are descended from a common ancestor, through evolution, and are not designed by an intelligence.
And I hope this is all I’ll ever say about this topic.
