Part of a great talk by Ken Miller.

apes’ possession of 24 pairs of chromosomes to humans’ 23, “prove” that there is no relationship between the species.

See chapter 1, Fusion, of Relics of Eden : The Powerful Evidence of Evolution in Human DNA, by Daniel J. Fairbanks, Prometheus Books 2007, ISBN 978-1-59102-564-1. As described here, the explanation for this has been in the scientific literature (he gives citations) since the early 1990s. Briefly, humans’ chromosome 2 is a fusion of great apes’ chromosomes 2A and 2B. The fusion site is still visible in our chromosome 2.

Noah was a Timelord.
Daleks caused the flood. EXTERMINATE!

and i found some of my email exchange with anthony bush a few years ago: here are some gems

If you were to come here you would see that we are probably a better interpreter of biological science than almost any other zoo.

I told BIAZA some time ago that they were going to receive an email along the lines that you sent. It would be interesting to know what drives you, though. It cannot be over the science of what is here now; I expect we agree with you over that; it must be something about origins long ago. The approach you take seems rather more appropriate to the Taliban or to old USSR’s thought police. Ironically in a country built on Christian tolerance you are free to be repressive over anything Christian. You might not try the same in Saudi Arabia.

a few years back when i was doing my masters in england i had an email exchange with anthony bush…in it he referred to me as militant, totalitarian…i think there might have been a stalinist reference as well.
that was after i contacted the head of BIAZA (the british zoo/aquarium association) because their regulations say to be a member a zoo must provide good education. and, since all of this crap on their website is obvious nonsense, i asked why they are a member (turns out they’re a provisional member). she said that he is a nice guy and they take care of their animals (and she confirmed to me that she was an atheist, but wouldn’t discriminate…which was not what i was asking her to do). perhaps more people need to continue calling them on this nonsense. if they want accreditation then they should provide good education resources.
i’m surprised to see these pictures because they all assured me that the only anti-evolution crap was online…not actually in the zoo. and since schools go on visits there it’s quite scary what nonsense these kids are learning.

The Ark was 46 FEET tall?

Those dimensions!

It was a small bit more than one football field long.
It was 45 feet tall. At best three decks.
It was 75 feet wide! Less than half the width of a football field.

So: Football field area 57,600 square feet.

Noah’s Ark, 101,250 square feet, not counting ANY structural space.

So, imagine fitting the entire animal kingdom, and their food, for a year, on the surface of less than two football fields.

I see a great experiment for that farm to try!
