Genome Sizes

Here is Wisdom;

The most simple form of life on earth is bacteria.

The simplest bacteria that has been mapped is known as phi X174 and has 5,386 base pairs of genes.

Man has 3,300,000,000 pairs or 3.3 x 10 to the ninth power.

Quick subtraction gives us 3,299,994,614.

What does that have to do with anything you may ask?

Good question. The earth has supported life for only 3.8 billion years. That means that a genetic mutation would have to take place every 1.13 years, every year, for humans to have evolved from the simplest form of life.

That assumes (with great faulty) that life began as bacteria.

Think about it...
