More Info On Psuedo Genes?

Doesn't quite seem to be all the Evolutionists claim them to be...

Then again, most of their "theories" fall through in the end...

Update:

Yes, Mr. Kelly, I read the whole article.

Cut/Paste isn't my forte, sorry.

For some reason, I just KNEW this would draw you into the discussion.

You're not working on the assumption that Evolution "proves" Pseudo-genes, but that Pseudo-genes "prove" Evolution.

You're taking these new discoveries much like the ones on Vesitgal Appendeges. 50 years ago, there was a list of more than 120. Now the list is less than a dozen.

Again, no proof of Evolution. Just some "theories" as to why we are the way we are.

"If it got here, it evolved!"

    Oh, I think it has been well established that they only need half a story to accept it as "proof"...

    Yes, that's fascinating. And I suppose you just finished reading the article in its entirety, did you? What did you think of the functional mildly-conserved pseudogene nucleotide sequences?

    Did you even read the abstract, or are you just proving that you can perform a Google search and then paste a link?

    Here's an example that I think might make SOME sense to those who lack a functional understanding of biology. There is a gene found in nearly all mammals called GULO. It makes an enzyme that is used for synthesizing (ie creating) vitamin C. But in humans and primates, Gulo only exists as a pseudogene. About 40 million years ago, this gene became inactive in primates, forcing us to get our vitamin C from food instead of creating in inside our bodies.

    That is what pseudogenes are good for: tracing the history of evolution. We don't need fossils anymore.
