Gabriel,
What Buddika failed to point out was that the whole genome shotgun
(WGS) assembly of the Ornithorhynchus anatinus (duck-billed platypus)
genome is incomplete.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/mapview/map_search.cgi?taxid=9258
Of course the science of DNA is a guessing science where a whole lot
of guessing goes on. Putative genes, for example, refers to commonly
acepted or supposed or assumed to exist or have existed genes. Of
the total number of genes stored in the GDB there are 20,066 genes,
2,491 pseudogenes and 35,239 putative genes
In latest human gene count I could find scientists have mapped 19,447
genes and 2275 pseudogenes. There are still 619 unassigned genes and
216 pseudogenes and a total of 35,329 putative genes. Even the
computer programs used to analyze the GDB are guessing programs.
In other words evolutionism is a blind faith religion where guesses
produce the tenants of their faith. Their faith system is best
understood as a chaos faith system. It changes from day to day.
The true Christian faith system produces tenants based on evidence
presented.
1Co 15:39 KJV
All flesh is not the same flesh: but {there is} one {kind} of flesh of
men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, {and} another of
birds.
The words one and another are from allos, another of the same kind;
the different of two; a numerical distinction. Had "heteros" been
used then a different of more than two; a generical distinction.
All flesh is not the same flesh, but a different flesh of man, a
different flesh of beasts, a different flesh of fishes, a different
flesh of birds so that man and beast are different flesh of two kinds
and fish and birds are different flesh of two kinds and all four are
different kinds - sort of like the four chemical bases: adenine (A),
guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) which form two different
base pairs made up of AT and GC.
In Genesis
Gen 1:21 KJV
And God created great whales, and every living creature [chay nephesh
= living life, living creatures, living souls] that moveth, which the
waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged
fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Water based animals and birds.
Gen 1:25 KJV
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 2:19 KJV
And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he
would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,
that was the name thereof.
Land based animals and birds
Gen 1:26 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Man, fish, birds, beasts.
I wonder if anyone has ever wondered why there is no Oxygen in adenine
(like in water) and no NH2 in thymine (like in earth). I wonder if
the water based animals and birds are more GC and land based animals
and birds more AT.
Maybe a space alien evolutionist scientist seeded the planet with
animals containing DNA that was adapted slightly for each species. He
took a turkey baster and sucked up some water with contained stuff and
then dug up a spoon full of earth which contained stuff. When he
mixed the stuff, stuff became other stuff.
Of course there is also the possibility that a God caused the various
forms of life to be.
I like the God theory because space aliens (except the Asgard of
course) are often meanies. I don't like the idea of a Goa'uld queen
(Hathor) being responsible for seeding the earth with her experiments
for Goa'uld hosts and I don't like the idea of the Cylons being
involved in the process either. Yep, I'll stick with the God theory
even though I like Thor and the other Asgards. Also, I don't like the
Goa'uld gods (themselves) or the Cylon gods either. I like my God
cause he is cooler.
