Evolution/Creation

[Huit]

I don't really believe in anything. I don't think we are really here. I don't believe there was a yesterday, and I don't believe there will be a tomorrow. I don't believe in facts. Anything defined seems fake to me. Made up. Just answers for the sake of answers. "God created life/humans" seems fake to me as well. Again, just answers for the sake of answers. But who am I to know? I'd love to be proven wrong.

I believe DNA codes for proteins, which carry out reactions in our bodies. I think most of our DNA codes for things such as having five fingers, two hands, two arms, kidneys, a heart, veins, hair, and nails. Most of us are the same in the sense that we have the same number of chromosomes that code for the same things. (Granted, the 46th chromosome determines gender.)

Yes, we have many unique things about all of us, but we're still the same species with the same bodily characteristics. .1% of our DNA codes for thousands upon thousands of base pairs.

Um, what? What are you replying to? I'm just confused...I said that human DNA is identical 99.9% of the time, but the remaining .1% makes us completely unique from one another. Even the slightest difference in DNA can cause A to be completely different than B. Chimps/Apes/Gorillas and Humans share 95%-98% of the same DNA. When that .1% difference makes one person black and one person white, 5% seems like a huge difference.

I believe in a mixture of both. I think that God has created the less advanced life forms and has used His powers to allow them to evolve.

Therefore, I believe in dinosaurs. That God created them and evolved into the lizards, fish and birds we have today.

I must've misread your post. Sorry about that.
But still, I believe most of our DNA is similar to apes in the sense that it codes for the same things. Appendages, eyes, ears, internal organs and stuff.

Yes, I agree.

But our DNA is similar to all animals in that sense. Every animal's DNA codes for their physical attributes, external and internal.

We share similar traits, you are correct, but as stated in my last post, we share ape like ancestors, but we didn't really evolve from them.......by themselves

And yes ohdisco, our DNA and cellular components/processes are very similar to mostly all other other life-forms.
