How close humans and chimps are genetically is irrelevant. The differences are!Tetenterre wrote:What utter tosh! Next thing you'll be trying to tell us that humans and chimps aren't as genetically close as DNA sequencing suggests.Pahu wrote:Genetic Distances 2(C&P drivel snipped)

Genetic Information 1Information never self-assembles. The genetic information in the DNA of each human cell is roughly equivalent to a library of 4,000 books (a).
a. Carl Sagan showed, using straight-forward calculations, why one cell’s worth of genetic information is the equivalent of 4,000 books of printed information. Each of Sagan’s 4,000 books had 500 pages with 300 words per page. {See Carl Sagan, The Dragons of Eden (New York: Random House, 1977), p. 25.}
Each book would have a volume of about 50 cubic inches. An adult human’s body contains about 10^14 (10 to the 14th power) cells. About 800 cubic miles have been eroded from the Grand Canyon. Therefore, we can say that if every cell in one person’s body were reduced to 4,000 books, th
ey would fill the Grand Canyon 98 times.
The Moon is 240,000 miles from Earth. If the DNA in a human cell were stretched out and connected, it would be more than 7 feet long. If all this DNA in one person’s body were placed end-to-end, it would extend to the Moon 552,000 times.
The DNA in a human cell weighs 6.4 x 10^-12 (10 to the –12 power) grams. [See Monroe W. Strickberger, Genetics, 2nd edition (New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., 1976), p. 54.] Probably less than 50 billion people have lived on earth. If so, one copy of the DNA of every human who ever lived—enough to define the physical characteristics of all those people in microscopic detail—would weigh only 6.4 × 10^-12 × 50 × 10^9 = 0.32 grams.
This is less than the weight of one aspirin.
“... there is enough information capacity in a single human cell to store the Encyclopaedia Britannica, all 30 volumes of it, three or four times over. ... There is enough storage capacity in the DNA of a single lily seed or a single salamander sperm to store the Encyclopaedia Britannica 60 times over. Some species of the unjustly called ‘primitive’ amoebas have as much information in their DNA as 1,000 Encyclopaedia Britannicas.” Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, pp. 116–117.

First, before the universe existed there was nothing from which it appeared, which is impossible by any natural cause. Therefor the cause of the universe was supernatural, proving God exists.VINDICATOR wrote:Dear Pahu,
Obviously you are trying to prove that only God could create man and not evolution. However, you also have to prove that that "God" is the God you worship, and not someone elses "God"! That will be even harder to prove! Tell us how you are going to prove that!
Bible Accuracy
1. Archaeology confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible:

2. The Bible is not a science book, yet is scientifically accurate:

3. The Bible is filled with hundreds of accurately fulfilled prophecies:

No other book, religious or secular, comes close to meeting those requirements.

Well, it's impossible by any cause at all. Any such cause would be simply be part of the universe.which is impossible by any natural cause
Have you considered the possibility that God is subnatural? The subnatural is what doesn't and couldn't exist; and wouldn'tTherefor the cause of the universe was supernatural, proving God exists.
