Peter said:Basicly we rolled a swab in our cheek, swished it out into a test tube, added chemicals to break down the cell (but not DNA) spun it in a centrifuge to get all the cell parts to sink to the bottom into a pellet. Then we took and added a bit of alchohol to the top, and the DNA lifts up into the Alchohol layer (it is not dense compared to other stuff in the cell) and you can lift it out in a white glob with a thin metal rod. Then it was simply a matter of putting it in a charm filled with distilled water and sealing the charm. (ok, ya, that was the really dumbed down version, but that is the basic idea) It was actually one of the easier labs we did. We did so many labs in that class.... it was crazy! (we ran electrofloureses gells and made things that look just like the DNA charts you see on CSI and those type of shows, we even took a field trip to Cold Spring Harbor laboritories (setup and run by eather watson or Crick (i forget which), one of the two men to discover the shape of DNA! on this field trip we even got to sequence our own DNA!!!
Let me know if you want to know more!
Peter said:LoL "Stir, let sit for 10 million years" hehe I completely disagree with evolution, (and on all my tests on evolution I would write out what I felt to be the right answer (creation) with undenyable factual backing evidence, and pointing out holes in the evolutionary approach (then add a paragraph at the end something like "However, even with all of the above evidence, the commonly accepted explination for this is.....")

Peter said:lisa said:I guess evolution just makes more logical sense to me.
That's kinda funny b/c i dont find evolution logical at all, too many "well we guess there were animals "inbetween" these others" I am a VERY logical person (Exceling in math, doing horrible in english, not buying a car b/c it's to expensive in the long run even though I have the $$ right now...)
I guess I would just suggest you take some time and read more about creation, and maybe you'll see the logic i see in it (and how the evidence fits creation perfectly). Unfortunatly they dont tell you about creation in school so you only get one side of the story, so obviously everyone thinks that side makes sense!
Peter said:I dont think there is much oppinion about it. I am not really sure what you mean by what my oppinion is about animals going extinct... Animals do go extinct, many of them probably went extinct during the Great Flood of Noah's Day. As far as animals getting here, they were created in the first seven days (as written in Genisis 1). There are comonalities between animals because all animals that we know live on a common earth, and God gave them common, effective tools.
I am not sure if i am answering your question or not.... but.... ya, let me know if i am not
Peter said:I believe God made animals to be flexable to their surroundings. That is quite abit different then an entire new animal coming from nowhere. Am I a different person in the summer when I go out and get a sunburn? nope (at least I hope not!) ok, ya that was a really bad example, but I think you might get the idea.
