"Sorry but scientists have just shown that mice DNA is more similar to humans than human DNA. So would evolutionists then declare that humans came from mice? Probably. That's because most people can't think for themselves and are confused about reality. That's why they believe anything scientists say."

"Sorry but scientists have just shown that mice DNA is more similar to humans than human DNA."
No, A cannot be more similar to B than B itself. That's the stupidest contention I've seen here in quite a while. "So would evolutionists then declare that humans came from mice?" Of course not, but we do contend that mice and humans long, long ago, shared common ancestors. "Probably. That's because most people can't think for themselves and are confused about reality." As one of the most crack-pot YECist, Christians I've ever seen, you are particularly unqualified to judge the thinking of others and/or their grasp of reality. "That's why they believe anything scientists say." We don't believe everything scientists say. Generally, we believe the assertions of large groups of scientists whose work has been published and peer-reviewed. Why do you believe everything the Bible says?

Now, I've been here a while, I've listened to the inane comments and absurdities sprayed forth from her lifeless and empty skull, I've even "debated" her on CARM.
Even so, she will surprise me, and outdo herself, at least once maybe twice a month. I think to myself, "Well, that's it, a functioning human being couldn't possibly be any more niave, stubborn, pompous or narrow-minded. Then a statement like this appears, small at first on my computer screen, I scan over the tiny letters, absorbing them into my mind where they are processed and the information is displayed clearly in the forefront of my mind, and when the shock wears off, I find myself motionless, eyes wide, and mouth agape. The dirty bitch, she got me again.

Now hold on just a minute! As Senior Editor for Crackpots Monthly, I must take exception to that. Crackpots Monthly is a serious alternative-science publication which provides an academic forum for debating such profound issues of our time as:
Free Energy (We were the first to report on Col. Tom Bearden's amazing "Motionless Electrical Generator" a device which generates 500% output, all off of Tom's brainwaves): The Missing Ink (not to be confused with the missing link, this is allegedly the invisible ink favored by Houdini): The Abominable Blowman (at issue is whether or not this seven-foot hairy coca leaf farmer is actually another species) Now some MAY say that our scientific standards are questionable, But at least we draw the line at fundamentalist xian geneticists.

Actually, all living things come from the same elements that are found in the ground, largely in different forms though. And generally the first living organism would've been formed directly from molecules and such which existed in the ocean and the ground.

In Australia, aboriginal dream time describes humans as being from the land in a sense that the land runs through their blood etc. Funnily enough the same generalised Iron compounds that are found in the dirt that covers most of Australia is somewhat related to parts of the compound haemoglobin.

But I completely detest the idea that we directly, our current species came from the dirt.

Edit: Oh but there is also a theory that we evolved from space bacteria from a meteorite.

scientists have just shown that mice DNA is more similar to humans than human DNA

Citation needed, nonsense, a straw man, because there is no expectation in biology, that is able to make predictions, that this "discovery" could ever happen. That all mammals are very close is true, however. This sounds like DNA denial, or at least DNA function denial. Afterall there's also germ theory denialists, etc. No mention of DNA/bacteria/virus in the Bible == trouble!

So would evolutionists then declare that humans came from mice?

Not "evolutionists", but evidence does show an actual relationship but the common ancestor is very old. Just like with other great apes. None of the extant animals is a direct ancestor.

That's because most people can't think for themselves and are confused about reality.

That's creationism, not biology, obviously. So part of your projected straw man.

That's why they believe anything scientists say.

Science does not work with priests dictating "knowledge", unlike your church. You can study how it works at school and with schoolbooks. You can do some lab work. You can become involved in the process. Those who understand that we have evolved are not just parroting ideology. They at least have some understanding of how. How do you think I know that your first statement is false? I didn't have to look it up, it's just impossible in biology. You could learn, too, if you allowed yourself to and didn't obey bullshitters who want to keep you ignorant and even would like to obstruct science and education.

There is something called the scientific method and something else called a scientific consensus. Both surpass individual scientists and their opinions. The whole surpases every previous knowledge seeking enterprise. It's not even called philosophy anymore.

There also is something called critical thinking, you could read on it. You don't even know that you don't know while falsely claiming to know. Then your false premises mislead you, distracting from basic facts and jumping to false conclusions. There even are online free resources for the youth, like about bad arguments:

This doesn't make Christians sound smart and if Carico is female, it's similar to the "dumb blondes" sexist jokes...
