My Pages

Many of these links are to blog pages that discuss endogenous retroviruses. For brevity, the acronym "ERV" is used. 

About the Author. I'm Barry Desborough, who has misspent his retirement fighting science-denying creationism.
Veritas: Why Evolutionary Science is Vitally Important - a personal view
ERVs FAQ. Top page for answers concerning common endogenous retroviruses - slam-dunk proof of common ancestry.
"Dr." Kent Hovind. A fake doctor who "qualified" at a fake university and for some unfathomable reason became a hero of the creationist mob.
"Kinds". How creationists retrofit their crazy ideas to abuse the KJV version of the Bible.
"Research" at the "Institute for Creation Research". They don't do research, they are not an institute. They just want your money.

ERVs - (Endogenous Retroviruses) as Proof of Evolution (An Executive Summary)
ERVs "Standing for Truth" attempts to reply to my questions raised by the idea that ERVs were designed
ERVs are essential in reproduction. How can this be?
ERVs Aren't ERVs designed to protect against viral infection?
ERVs Aren't the same ERV genetics in coresponding loci in different species because they have to do the same job?
ERVs But how can you rule out design as an explanation for ERVs?
ERVs But isn't this just circular reasoning, assuming evolution to 'prove' evolution?
ERVs David DeWitt at Anwers in Genesis says ERVs do not line up with the expected evolutionary progression.
ERVs do stuff. Doesn't that prove that they didn't originate from retroviruses, but were designed?
ERVs Don't retroviruses target particular locations in the DNA? Doesn't this explain corresponding ERVs?
ERVs FAQ formatted for posting to Facebook
ERVs Haven't the same ERVs been found in species that are said to be distantly related?
ERVs How could a species survive a massive invasion of retroviruses into its genome?
ERVs How could ERVs survive programmed cell death (apoptosis)?
ERVs If ERVs are designed, what are the design purposes of these features?
ERVs Just how many ERVs are shared, in common locations, in the genomes of humans and chimps?
ERVs Long terminal repeats (LTRs). How these retroviral markers provide yet more information on evolutionary history.
ERVs promote the transcription of host DNA. Doesn't this prove they are designed?
