Evidence for God from Science

Once a retreoviral material has been injected into the genome it is no longer subject to the accelerated mutation rates of viruses. Therefore integrated material will mutate at a much slower rate than material within a viral population. Reverse transcription does not occur once the material has bee...

Well I think I have communicated the course of my hypothesizing about retroviral integration into life. Perhaps one could suggest that the judgments of God at the fall, and perhaps even the changes in life after the destruction by the flood would result in genetic evidences of these changes. It is c...

Thanks for the reply. There is quite a bit to digest, so I will not go point for point with quotations, but will try to address things from the top down in response. If I miss something that was of particular interest to you that you want to see addressed just re-post your key point. I incorporated ...

I will assume from the tone of this post that you concede the retroviral origins of ERV's. First lets not overstate insertion point affinity to mean a very few possible insertion sites. Second lets consider that these retroviruses are in every individual in both species. When did the insertion occu...

A few comments. Sorry I can't find the article I was reading on the virus with the unique insertion point. IT may not have been a retrovirus; I'm not sure. Which of course doesn't mean that ERVs can't wind up in the same location. The shared ERVs could be considered as evidence that viruses are able...

I don't think it would be wise to start with my assumptions to show my conclusions that would be quite circular. What shall I say I assume this to be true so I will conlude this. Sort of silly. I agree lets just stick to the facts. While it was once thought that insertion points were quite random v...

Sorry for not being clear. What I am saying is that from what we now know viral insertions appear to happen at quite random points, and with varied sequences. Since these "HERVs" don't appear to follow the pattern of viral activity that we observe it seems that a likely conclusion is that ...

a discussion including quite a bit on retroviruses

Ok I think I am on the same page; we shall see. So my question then becomes is it even possible for a sperm or egg that is now a virus cell to combine with the other gamate to preoduce an individual that would then have the sequence in their entire genome. Yes the transcription process is not perfe...

Let me see if I understand your position. Your view is that these hervs are in the genome because a virus infected a sperm or an egg, and when the sperm or egg formed a new individual Yes good so far. the virus was able to insert the genetic material into the new individual who then passed it on to...

Yes I understand how evolution would interpret similar ERV sequences by claiming common decent of organisms. OF course without any way to confirm the hypothesis it wouldn't have any more weight than saying for instance that if these sequences are from a viral infection that particular viruses have ...

Somewhere in Revelation, don't have time to look it up at this moment, it talks about the seven Spirits of God.

Wouldn't it be neccessary to know the total actual knowledge of the biology of life in order to be able to determine that HERVs are junk DNA, or that they are present in the human Genome from historical infections of people? Why would it be amazing or interesting that life would have some of the sam...
