Abiogenesis is impossible

[The Valkyrie]

Considering many of us have neanderthal DNA it means we were closely related enough to them to breed with them in the past. The same cannot be said for modern apes, some of which we share 90% + DNA with.

This seems to indicate that they were a human subspecies

From a biblical viewpoint, biological similarities between humans and other primates would be expected since both are fashioned from the same substance (‘out of the ground all the beasts…”), so genetic similarities should exist between humans and other animals. And an even greater dna similarity should exist between humans and other primates since the design template is basically the same.
now in the case of human beings (made in God's image), they have a spirit which accounts for behavior and cognitive ability differences from other primates.

Yeah, but science doesn't look at the world through your little book of fantasy. It looks at the world through a logical, scientific viewpoint - you know, with evidence and stuff like that. Something that the creationist viewpoint can't provide.

And yet you were the guy bitching in the other thread that the multiverse hypothesis isn't observable and doesn't fit in with the scientific method...

You really will just use any argument you can to advance your faith based, emotionally driven religious beliefs, heedless of contradictions, won't you?

You've never read a biology book, have you.

Creationist claims of "Goddidit!" or, if you're from certain areas, "god did done it, hyuk!" count as biology books if it's written down, right?

Okay, so we're pretty much agreed that humans and other simian primates share genetic similarities. The point of disagreement is with the mechanism for them. From an evolutionary standpoint, the similarities are well explained, as indeed are the differences; the most notable perhaps being the fusion of chromosome #2 in human DNA.

Your biblical viewpoint, on the other hand, rather than offering any explanation or mechanism, merely adds another layer of mystery which itself requires explaining. Go for it - we're all ears.

[The Valkyrie]

I wanted to try being a creationist once. It turned out that a lobotomy on that scale would negatively affect my career . . .

And my intellect.

[Cyberman]

I sympathise. Being a creationist must require such wilful rejection, not just of science but of reality in general, that it goes beyond the bounds of denial and into the realm of performance art.

[Rampant.A.I.]

same pattern, whenever have no scientific rebuttal, post a cartoon. you needn't feel downtrodden, just learn the art of losing gracefully.

Cartoons best reflect your understanding of the material. And given that you haven't bothered to read a single link and educate yourself, well...

get on the right side of the deal:
The bottom line is that the universe is at least ten billion orders of magnitude (a factor of 1010,000,000,000times) too small or too young for life to have assembled itself by natural processes.(i) These kinds of calculations have been done by researchers, both non-theists and theists, in a variety of disciplines.(42-58)

Calculations done by people who don't know all the methods and processes by which life could arise naturally mean very little. If you're making claims of probability without knowing all the variables, that probability is necessarily incorrect.

So... good job? You linked to something that was wrong before I even clicked on it.
