Creation Moment 1/31/2024 -Latest Pangenome Research Shows......

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1

"One of the hallmarks of evolutionary thought is that evolution is the

result of random, chance processes. But a new study, referred to by the popular press as a “landmark discovery,” challenges “decades of scientific understanding” by suggesting that maybe evolution isn’t as random as was thought. So get ready for the details of this latest installment of “Everything we previously thought about evolution is wrong” (yes, this happens a lot!).

The researchers analyzed the pangenome (defined as “a complete set of genes within a species”) of 2,500 bacteria, all belonging to the same species. Within that pangenome, they identified gene families and then compared those families. And what they discovered is “nothing short of revolutionary.”
“We found that some gene families never turned up in a genome when a particular other gene family was already there, and on other occasions, some genes were very much dependent on a different gene family being present.”

The researchers have essentially discovered an invisible ecosystem where genes can cooperate or can be in conflict with one another.

***Now, you may notice that the researchers didn’t actually uncover anything about molecules-to-man evolution. 

*They did good observational science, comparing genes and gene families across bacteria—genes that already exist. 

*They didn’t make some startling discovery about how bacteria acquire brand-new functional genes (information) for new forms or features, something that is required for evolution to occur and has never been observed. 

---What they peered into was the intricacies of DNA! They’re simply taking a closer look at God’s incredible handiwork."
