Dear Fundies,

Dear Fundies,
No. Your fucking god did not play in the dirt and make you. Even you are far more complicated than that!

Quote: Human DNA is “a lot more active than we expected, and there are a lot more things happening than we expected,” said Ewan Birney of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute, a lead researcher on the project.

In one of the Nature papers, researchers link the gene switches to a range of human diseases — multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease — and even to traits like height. In large studies over the past decade, scientists found that minor changes in human DNA sequences increase the risk that a person will get those diseases. But those changes were in the junk, now often referred to as the dark matter — they were not changes in genes — and their significance was not clear. The new analysis reveals that a great many of those changes alter gene switches and are highly significant.

“Most of the changes that affect disease don’t lie in the genes themselves; they lie in the switches,” said Michael Snyder, a Stanford University researcher for the project, called Encode, for Encyclopedia of DNA Elements.

RE: Dear Fundies,
Read a cute explanation today on another forum (I think) about how God made Eve.


Seems God did NOT use one of Adam's ribs,indeedly doodly not. He used his baculum (penis bone) -and THAT is why humans males do not have a penis bone. Works for me. Angel Cloud

RE: Dear Fundies,
Sounds like something I might have inserted somewhere.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
