Uncommon Descent


11 March 2008

Do oak trees and humans share a common ancestor other than common descent?

Galapagos Finch

“Not only does the oak tree and homo sapien share 70% identical DNA, the similarity of phenotypical features of the acorn with the adult human is compelling and, indeed, irrefutable,” says Dr. Richard Knuther.

I am steady as an oak. Little did I know that I owed it all to my phenotypical features.

Does this stuff ever end? Can it get more wacky? I’m not even an ID guy, I’m a creationist, but at least the ID folks have enough sense to see that things didn’t ‘just happen’!

No no no!

And this crude, mildly (very mildly) amusing parody of evolutionary theory is supposed to establish what exactly?

I do hope we all realize this was a parody:). Check out the articles on evolution in hell and Dawkins losing the wager with Behe … I can’t figure out what side he’s on.

Parody? It’s homology (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Besides, hasn’t anyone seen Friedrich Jier’s sprout drawings? Very compelling when compared with Haekel’s embryos.

I’ll be impressed when involucres magically evolve the ability to grow hair and self-adjust their distance to a heat source.

Rubbish: The brites has been caught concocting evidence yet again. They’re implants.

Gloppy,
I see the connection now - swollen lymph nodes that secrete a fluid that happens to be nutritional to the young of the species. Sounds an awful lot like Goldschmidt to me!
