ahhhh thanks for the constructive critcism....i was willing for someone to correct me.... ok now i know you cant compare those two but still how come there is no evidence for an increase in genetic infromation .... as i said before if you could find me a legitimate link send it... which is vital for evolution...or we would supposedly still be monkeys??

But your a medical science student arent you that Down syndrome is it not from a defect in your gene pool / DNA.... i know they prob aint the same thing but you get my point as i said im no biologist
What you're asking doesn't make sense! If you know you can't compare the two, why did you?

You're harping on with the usual creationist shit, but if you want a link to some information, this website has about 45 links that should be of interest to you.

I don't get what you're referring to with Down Syndrome. I just said that Down Syndrome is caused by a nondisjunction of chromosomes during meiosis, you can't do a genetic test to determine whether a parent is going to give their kid Down Syndrome because it's not inheritable in that sense, unlike Huntingtons Disease. Of course other factors contribute to the chances of Down Syndrome, but you can't 'inherit' it like that.

Thus I'm not sure why you're insisting that we screen for defects in the gene pool when it's caused by a nondisjunction DURING MEIOSIS.

I believe in evolution but i dont believe humans and apes share a common ancestor for reasons which i cant be fucked writing up. Establishing the origin of a species is near fucking impossible.

I swear too much.

Depends on their reasoning, of course.

Not fans of people who sit on the fence just because of the small problem of absolute [dis]proof being technically impossible.
Well it's ignorant to be absolutely sure that there is or isn't a god. It isn't a matter of which side of the fence you are on. Why should someone believe or disbelieve that there is a god when there is no proof either way?

My advice to you would be read up on some theology, and see if it clicks.

You can do prenatal genetic screening for Down Syndrome, but it's not 100% proof. You can't test parents to see if the chromosomes will separate properly during fertilisation before getting pregnant.

thanks but no thanks for that bridge to nowhere.
well then you have three options

*pick a set of lies that you are comfortable with.

* hit your head against a wall till you lose enough brain cells to follow mainstream religion or atheism fervently.

* hit your head against the wall some more and join a new age religion.

If there is a larger picture for us, surely there is a larger picture for cats and dogs. Yes?

Only if cats and dogs stay awake at night in the midst of an existential crisis.

Why couldn't it be raised. It's a valid point.

If you believe there is more to life for humans than just 'existing', and that there must be something else, then does the same apply for animals.

If animals are born to just 'exist' and there is no afterlife for them, why would there be one for us?

I don't know why you're being such a defensive little girl over it, it's a fairly easy question to answer.
