The earth is only 6000 years old.

From the Times article, quoting Pope Benedict.

“Evolution has not been “scientifically” proven and science has unnecessarily narrowed humanity’s view of creation, Pope Benedict has said in his first reflections on the origins of life.”
“has not” are the words here
 
All living organisms share the same “core” makeup. That is why the embryo’s have similar features. We all share the same core cell structure, function and body plan organization. This is all right there from the very beginning. This is the potentiality.

Now it gets really neat!👍 The regulatory system can rearrange things to allow variable offspring. Micro evolution (adaptability) is built right in. What does this mean? The things that control this have to be in place before micro-evolution can take place. Bye Bye Darwin! The top evo guys get this but still have not come to terms with it. They cannot explain saltations away and now know the first cells were complex. The typical evo defender on CAF doesn’t even know this exists. Why - 'because of what their boilogy classes taught them. You know the one’s I am talking about - the one’s that every time you question the modern synthesis they reply - take a university biology course. 🙂

The kicker is it fits so nicely with St Augustine’s idea of potentiality and the constant teaching and understanding of the Church.

The payoff is that it pays to stick with this thought - Divine Revelation Trumps! 🙂 I have always maintained Divine Revelation must illuminate out reasoning.

Humans never needed a tail for mobility and now you can see why. We will be better able to define the “kinds”. This also puts the idea of devolution into play. That the corruption brought upon us by the fall corrupts the “pure potentiality” that existed in the beginning. We also see this preserved in the “kinds” we identify this way - a dog is a dog, a cat is a cat no matter there breeding or adaptations. Their core is conserved. The first humans had everything necessary to populate the earth as long as they followed God’s instruction of “do not murder”.

The gene mutations we see today were not there in the beginning. These came later.

And finally - God made all things good.
Interesting post. Very thought provoking.👍

Could it be that another Achilles heel – regarding popular misconceptions of human nature – is showing itself? Could core and a regularity system present another way of looking at mutation rates in humans?

The quest for truth is worthy of the adventures of the journey.

It is not a question anymore - that is what molecular biology knows.

Do you understand the difference between “has not” and “cannot”? Larkin gets it!

The same Pope you are quoting is favorable towards a theory of theistic evolution. And he rejects the idea of special creations of each species as well as the nonsense about the world being 6,000 years old. What do you say about that?
 
The regulatory system can rearrange things to allow variable offspring.
Explain what you mean by the “regulatory system”. What is that, exactly? By what specific mechanism does the “regulatory system” allow ‘changes’? And, what’s the difference between ‘changed’ and ‘evolved’ - specifically?
Divine Revelation Trumps!
So say the Muslims and the Mormons, too. Get in line and take a number.
