"And a random change of only 3 nucleotides is fatal to an animal ."
"More bull XXXX . First , our Creationist seems to forget that many millions of bases in the human genome are nonfunctional . Why would random changes to 3 or 4 of those nucleotides be fatal ? They would n't . Besides , our Creationist is trying to make it seem like all of the millions of mutations he references - which is an invalid number - would occur in a single animal ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ? ! ? ! No , the ~1.5 million nucleotide changes in the human lineage ( half the nucleotide differences between the chimp and human genomes ) would have had about 6 million years to accumulate . Finally , our Creationists seems to be aware of the fact that humans differ among themselves at about 1 out of every 200 base pairs . By his reasoning , should n't we all be dead ?"
