Also the fact that some salamanders have a vastly larger genome than humans, giving the lie to creationist assertions that science claims evolution always involves increasing complexity.Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-39936224697936885862014-07-13T20:05:21.461+01:002014-07-13T20:05:21.461+01:00According to this article, The Norway spruce genom...According to this article, The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution (see: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v497/n7451/full/nature12211.html ), the genome sequencers have identitied almost 29,000 functional (= protein-coding) genes, compared with 19,000 functional genes in the human genome. <br /><br />And the total genome of the Norwegian spruce is SEVEN times bigger than the human genome. <br /><br />All this makes me wonder: Why did God create the Norwegian spruce with so many functional genes and such a big genome? Does it mean that conifers are the crowning work of God's creation? Instead of Adam and Eve? <br /><br />Helmer von Helvetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136543309048013677noreply@blogger.com
