I'm a little curious here . . .

Humans and chimps are closer to each other, genetically, than many
other species are which creationists consider to be the same "kind"
-- horses and donkeys, for instance, or cheetahs and jaguars.

Why then do you consider it utterly absolutely completely impossible
for humans to have "micro-evolved" their genetic differencesd with
chimps, but NOT utterly absolutely completely impossible for members
of other "kinds" to have "micro-evolved" their LARGER genetic
differences with each other?

If the genetic differences between jaguars and cheetahs can have
evolved, then why do you insist that the SMALLER genetic differences
between chimps and humans, can not have?

Besides, of course, your religious opinion that humans are special
and simply cannot be related through descent to any other animal, no
matter what . . .

It is worse than that for Sean because he seems to have this evidence
thing and backing up your own notions out of whack with reality. If
Sean wants to contend that he has something Sean has to come up with
examples that we can't explain. I haven't heard of any "qualitiative"
rather than "quantitative" difference that exist between humans and
chimps. Intellectually, chimps are about equivalent to 4 year old
humans. We share all our tissues and organs. Heck, we have about the
same number of hair folicles on our bodies as a chimp. The only
differences in our brains seems to be the size of the different
sections. We seem to share all brain parts. Sean has to demonstrate
that his type of gap exists.

What probably gets to Sean is how his bogus 1000 aa argument breaks
down with closely related species like chimps and humans. Sean comes
face to face with one obvious fact. Any change in any gene, protein,
whatever, has to work within the whole. Whether some new change is
part of a large existing complex or the start of some future large
complex it has to work within what already exists. If it doesn't it
has to limp along and exist against selection to remove it, and most
likely it is lost. What we see are the changes that fit well enough
to make it. Sean can't cope with that fact. His whole 1000 aa bull
pucky is based on some stupid reality that doesn't exist. He comes
face to face with that reality with chimps and humans, and has to
demand that his opposition provide what he cannot. Sean has to
demonstrate that his type of gaps ever existed. He can't do that with
the human and chimp example.

If a gene can "limp along and exist against selection to remove it" as you say, then that kinda
shoots evolution down to ZERO.

How can random mutations take place if a gene can limp along and exist against selection to
remove it?

What other genes have existed against selection to remove it? Is this resistance to selection
random? Is it planed for in the gnome we do not fully understand yet?

Another nail in the coffin of evolution.
