Being scientifically literate is empowering, lol, isn't it. Enriches our lives and allows us to see beauty and connections that we might never have imagined otherwise.

I never would have even bothered reading about all these Clovis people and Denisovan mystery people or well anything that I perceived to be contradictory to the Bible, because I thought I had a book straight from god that knew more than scientists. An inside track to truth, I thought. Turns out it was a bunch of air, and now I'm rediscovering science in a way.
@John, again why are you here if not to depreciate discussion altogether with your troll comments? You seriously are an empty cupboard, aren't you. (Not a question)
Yes, evolution is very cool, as is science in general (the bits I understand - LOL)
Unfortunately, even here, you're going to get creationist idiots appearing and spouting bullshit.
Keep going. I'm enjoying your posts.

Are you requesting support for the assertion that it is "without exception" and "confirms the tree of life" or that DNA sequencing simply provides evidence for evolution?

Quote:DNA sequencing[edit]
Comparison of the DNA sequences allows organisms to be grouped by sequence similarity, and the resulting phylogenetic trees are typically congruent with traditional taxonomy, and are often used to strengthen or correct taxonomic classifications.
"Typically" implies exceptions. Thanks for sharing.

I would be careful in stating anything is without exception, as the definition of exceptions is probably broad and any that surface would not necessarily invalidate the overwhelming majority of evidence. The below study seems to lay out the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard.

You should know by now that I don't give a fuck about creatards and their disingenuous bullshit. You either lead yourself to knowledge or remain in ignorance. Don't tell me what something implies, just point to a single exception. Taxonomy doesn't have the ability to comment on common descent, until some uncommon taxonomy is found.
Try again.

You apparently don't give a fuck about unsupportable hyperbole from evolutionists, either. No, actually not giving a fuck about such would be an improvement. You actually jump in to defend it.

I could point out the blatant flip of the burden of proof, but it's easier just to go ahead and give you an example. They come along pretty regularly.
Here's a recent one.
Quote:Strange animals may have their own distinct nervous system.
Confusion reigns at the base of the animal family tree.
If you think this suggests that early animals started out simple and gradually evolved new features, and things like sponges branched off before they were added, you wouldn't be alone. Over the years, lots of researchers argued the same thing. But a recent genome sequence indicated that the oldest branch of the animal family tree that led to the comb jellies, with muscles, nerves, and tentacles, were an older branch than sponges. Now with a new paper on the comb jelly, researchers are starting to argue over what this actually tells us about the earliest animals.
Cue the "But...but...the authors still believe in evolution" responses.
