Question

Can all life be described as having some common DNA and does this prove evolution?

Answer 1

Hi, I can sum up your question real quick. (I am not trying to come accross as shrewd)

    

    There is NOTHING that can PROVE 'evolution, because that THEORY simply in not so,

     Please, please open the Holy Bible, and start reading with an 'opened mind and an 'open heart, start reading Genisis: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

     Then God said "Let there be light, and there was light"

     and I am going to skip, to the only time (with the exception of Noah on the ark with his family and Gods living animals)  that the earth was pure and sin free,

     God created 'MAN in HIS OWN IMAGE' and when HE created man, God took but one of the MAN's ribs (we know of him today as 'Adam) and for a Mans companion, God created WOMAN (we know of her today as Eve) and I believe in my heart that was the beginning of life.

     The only truth about 'evalution (my oppinion) is what has 'evolved from a  PURE and SINCERE LOVE, is the horrible, back-stabbing,currupt,ugly & vain world of SIN we live in today....

     Lucifer, Pan, Satan..IE...Gods most knowledg- able and glorious creation - has 'EVOLVED from being our Father Gods "Right Hand Man" eventing the emotion that we know today as "JEALOUSY", and from that emotion and "acting" on it, was the DOWNFALL of everything and all, that has made the world as 'WE KNOW IT TODAY'.

     A far cry as it "WAS MEANT TO BE, 'IN THE BEGINNING'....

    Sad but true.  I Pray for everyone of you, everyday - we, whether one believes it or not - we ARE LIVING IN THE END TIMES.

     Every single one of us (with the exception of third-world countries) have heard of Jesus and has at least BASIC knowledge of our "Father God" and has seen a Holy Bible, and has heard, maybe just a tiny bit about it.....But with just that, from the point of having just that knowledge, we (us that are mentally capable) come to a decision point, TO BELIEVE or NOT TO BELIEVE.

     The only thing that "I" will NEVER understand is "Why would someone, anyone make a concious choice to worship the DEVIL. To walk in the DARKNESS instead of the LIGHT ????

     There are only but 2 endings this "Glitch In Time" that is our life. (I do refer to it as a glitch, because it does infact state that in the Holy Bible, 1000 of human years = is but one day for GOD.

     And there are no secrects, our Father, the Creator of All, and his Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, knows but when a single hair moves on your head.

     And for ALL will come a "DAY OF JUDGEMENT" It is now, we all still have time to change or path and create our DESTINY-

     Will you choose to ignore the TRUTH and PERRISH with SATAN and the FALLEN ANGELS whom turned their backs on GOD ALL KNOWING AND ALMIGHTY?

     Or will you do something so simple as to open the HOLY BIBLE and open your heart to the TRUTH as it is WRITTEN, and repent of your sins, be HONEST and you will be FORGIVEN.

     To have your name written in the "BOOK OF LIFE' is as simple as to believe, Jesus, Our Saviour - our path, the way to life ETERNAL - HE KNOCKS AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR HEARTS, Just if you do nothing else, Just Let Jesus in and ask for forgiveness for your sins and YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN.

     And if you do just that your little part in this big sin filled world, I promise you that we will meet on the other side = Back here on Earth in Heaven = AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE IN THE BEGINNING.

     I do apologize if I have offended anyone, but I have gave to Christ my heart, and if I can bring just one single being to our Lord and Saviour, All I could possibly do will be worth it in the end.

     GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND YOURS,

WRITTEN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART WITH LOVE AND SINCERITY TO EVERY AND ALL.

Answer 2

Yes, certain sequences of genes are conserved over the generations and there are sequences that all living things share all the way back to the simplest bacteria.  The more the organisms have in common the more alike their DNA.  Humans and Chimps are 98% identical genetically.  The major changes in evolution can be follwed by comparing the genomes of organisms and seeing what they share in common.  This is a way we can put time line on evolution.  But no it can never be 100% conclusively proven because no one was there at the beginning but I like to say if you are doing a jigsaw puzzle to you have to have all the pieces to see the picture or will the majority of them convince you what it is of?

Answer 3

I don't believe that there are any genes that have been found to be *universally* conserved. But there are many, many genes that are very similar between a wide range of organisms.

It is the degrees of similarity and difference that are used as evidence for evolution: organisms which are otherwise similar will likely have more similar genes too (furthermore, regions of non-coding "junk DNA" also display the same degrees of similarity and difference between organisms).

However - as others have pointed out, it is not possible to actually *prove* anything in science. All you can do is provide more and more supporting evidence for a theory.

Check the links below for a summary of some of that supporting evidence.

Answer 4

No, God created all living things with their own unique DNA.

Answer 5

Scientists do not prove things, but are convinced by the overwhelming evidence for evolutionary processes.

Yes, all life uses DNA as its genetic material. Some viruses use RNA though.

Answer 6

The proof of evolution is in the fact that you describe plus a thousand other observations pointing to a single conclusion.

Answer 7

Common dna between different kinds of animals and plants is no more proof of evolution than proof of a common designer.

In fact genetics has dealt a severe blow to homology. features which evolutionists claimed were from common descent turn out to have nothing in common genetically.

Genetic supports creation and does not help evolutionists case.

There is a good article here.

Abstract:

Homology involves the theory that macroevolutionary relationships can be proven by the similarity in the anatomy and physiology of different animals. Since Darwin, homology has been cited in textbooks as a major proof for evolution. A review of the literature on homology indicates that the theory does not provide evidence for evolutionary naturalism, and that the common examples of homology can be better explained by Creation. Furthermore, increased knowledge about the genetic and molecular basis of life has revealed many major exceptions and contradictions to the theory which, as a result, have largely negated homology as a proof of evolution.

Answer 8

I don't know if it proves evolution, but we all have common DNA.
