Veritas: BarryHisBlog: Notes From A Misspent Retirement

A Misspent Retirement.. How my inquiries into human nature led me to evolutionary psychology and the discovery that evolution-denial is still a thing so many years after its acceptance by the scientific community.

The ERV FAQ - Endogenous retroviruses - frequently asked questions. ERVs are remnants of viral infections found in the genomes of organisms. The majority of ERVs found in the genomes of humans and chimps, for example, provide proof beyond any reasonable doubt that we share common ancestors.

ERV FAQ: But how can you rule out design as an explanation?

ERV FAQ: ERVs do stuff. Doesn't that prove that they didn't originate from retroviruses, but were designed?
