ERVs are not evidence of common descent. @SFT_Ministries

@onlychrispark @SFT_Ministries Dude - just shut up and go read a book.

@Casewithscience @SFT_Ministries You mean like this one?

@onlychrispark @SFT_Ministries Youre clearly trying to use words and concepts that you dont understand. That form of junk DNA is the result of ancient transcription errors. It makes no impact on the viability of evolution-based observations about life.

@Casewithscience @SFT_Ministries ERVs are not junk DNA. 90% or more of ERV sequences don’t even resemble full or true “endogenous retroviruses” because they lack standard ERV genes (gag, pol, env) and simply represent long terminal repeats which can serve as binding sites for initiating or enhancing gene

@onlychrispark @SFT_Ministries No, no, no. You are conflating. These arent singular transactions but rather re-writes over vast generational epochs. This is what I mean by you playing with things you dont understand.

@Casewithscience THAT is pure assumption. There is zero evidence for that speculation.

@onlychrispark There is actually tons from observational data on gene transcription. If you had read biochem then you would understand it. Non-coding DNA is pretty well understood, including in relation to epigenetic functionality. You seem to be working off ideas from the late 90s.

@Casewithscience It's been observed that these functional sequences of DNA deemed "ERVs" are "re-writes over vast generational epochs?" You called "ERV" sequences Junk DNA, even though it's been proven over and over again that they perform key, integral function in the genome, yet you're

@onlychrispark Its colloquially called junk but its better described as non-coding. As for its function, thats often timing for sequence of protien coding. You do understand how protein coding happens, right?

@Casewithscience @onlychrispark ERV's are a wildly absurd concept that is much better explained by common design. The concept is wildly illogical and improbable, has never been seen in extant species, and requires a level of mental gymnastics that should be embarrassing for intelligent adults. Take the
