4 minutes in, Gauger was stretching things rather too far in describing Alus as merely a cell regulator. They are retrotransposons, found in our close primate cousins, and constantly copying and expanding (10% of our genome is just Alu, some 1.4 million of them presently). Most are not expressed at all, but some that do tend to cause diseases. Once in awhile that activation mutation is beneficial, though, and a few Alus doing their trick quite awhile ago managed to get involved in our brain systems. See for example Roy Britten's 2010 review www.pnas.org/content/107/46/19945.full Neither Gauger nor any other antievolutionist has been direct in trying to actually account for the full range of Alus observed in our genome.

Short but POWERFUL! It really doesn't take much to debunk evolution, all it takes is a little rational scrutiny of the data.

MrGreensweightHist That perhaps, but certainly is unlikely that Moshe has fact checked much of the ID claims at source level. Overall antievolutionism misses 90% of the data field (I measure that at source level in my TIP "Troubles in Paradise: The Methodology of Creationism" project www.tortucan.wordpress.com) with ID dealing with even less of it.

A quick read of the paper she is referencing shows clearly that she misrepresenting their results. projecteuclid.org/euclid.aoap/1171377175 According to the paper, 7 mutations in a specific sequence has an expectancy rate of only 60,000 years. But Ann Gauger is reporting 1 mutation will take 6,000,000 years. But what do you expect? She is a creationist.

The Urantia Book dates the first truly human pair to a little less than a million years ago, so that fits in quite well with the premise in this lecture. Very good talk here, by the way.

9 min in Gauger stretches the data again when she alluded to the 2004 paper by Dennis Bramble & Daniel E. Lieberman “Endurance running and the evolution of Homo.” Nature 432 (18 November): 345-352. It is a paper that makes the round of the antievolution literature, but it hardly means that the genetic mutations to change the australopithecine anatomy exceeded natural capacity. No new bone genes would be needed at all, or even new regulatory genes per se, and the Bramble paper made no such assertions as Gauger implied here. Gauger has not been keen to investigate that technical side of the matter, either btw. Gauger's bringing up Richard Durrett & Deena Schmidt 2007 “Waiting for regulatory sequences to appear.” The Annals of Applied Probability 17 (1): 1-32. was disingenuous in that their their subsequent work, 2008. “Waiting for Two Mutations: With Applications to Regulatory Sequence Evolution and the Limits of Darwinian Evolution.” Genetics 180 (November): 1501-1509. & 2009 “Reply to Michael Behe.” Genetics 181 (February): 821-822 tracks their disagreement with the spin that Behe and Gauger have tried to put on their mutation studies. Letting one side summarize what both sides of a discussion are is seldom a good idea, and Gauger is typical in parsing her data field only to suit their interests. As for Adam & Eve, I will be discussing the matter with Joshua Swamidass directly on my Evolution Hour KZitem next Wednesday. It should be fun. Gauger may well not want to fold Adam, & Eve into a time frame smack dab in Homo erectus era, NOT Homo sapiens, and obviously ridiculously before the 6000 years implied by the Bible, and we will be looking for their analysis in due course. But the analyses she's drawing on are allowing multiple pairs that could contribute to the whole population if you wait long enough. It is interesting that no one thought to post the direct links to the relevant papers to simplify the task of fact checking the claims. Here's the Vahdati & Wagner one bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-016-0722-0
