OUG,
The point is that the handedness od DNA indicates a common ancestor. Go back and re-read what I posted. Had humans (we don't) had a different handedness than the rest of nature, now that would a curious, but we don't. Posted by Oliver, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 1:26:32 PM

OUG,
There is nothing in nature stopping the creation of left-handed DNA. This point is essentially commonly occuring DNA is right-handed, suggesting a common source. I was unaware of the Z-DNA. Interesting cites not mentioned in the genetics books I have read. Thanks. What I would not expect is would be a swap in handedness between generations of given genelogical line: That would take some explaining. Posted by Oliver, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 6:43:05 PM

Dear David,
Catholics do believe in the Scriptures. Nobody takes all the Scriptures ‘literally’ (so that statement is just a red herring). The Catholics, like all other Christians, try to interpret them faithfully, intelligently, and in a scholarly manner. I am sorry that you felt insulted by my comment. I wasn’t meaning to offend by saying you had a rubbery view of truth. By this, I wasn’t trying to imply anything sinister, only that your view is a bit nebulous or underdeveloped. For instance, you say that truth is not found in religious belief. You’ve said before that scientists are not seeking truth. So you’ve said where you can’t find it, but where can you find it? Does truth even exist for you? I’ll admit that words like ‘truth’ or ‘science’ are not always easy to define or grab firmly. But you have not convinced me that you have much of a handle on it. For my part, to try and define ‘science’: science is as science does. It is a bit like ‘democracy’ or ‘justice’, in that it is hard to find a one-size-fits-all definition, rather it is the compilation of its many examples. Within science circles, evolution is the current majority accepted view, but that’s about all. You say that it is ‘accepted’ that the sun came into being before the earth. Now, by your own words, believing in something doesn’t make it true. Does having a majority of people accept something make it true? Posted by Dan S de Merengue, Thursday, 10 June 2010 11:02:12 AM

Oliver,
From what I understand you’re saying, all sugars in DNA, in all types of life, are chemically ‘right-handed’, so to speak. However, all such chemical structures or polymers are naturally found to occur in a manner both left-handed and right-handed with a 50-50 ratio. You claim this as evidence for a common ancestor. I think this could just as easily be evidence for a common creator. Is it not expected that if all life had originated from a common creator, designed to live on the same planet, then they would show many indicators of commonality in design? However, I think you have a far greater problem. If you say that such chemical structures occur naturally in a manner both left-handed and right-handed with a 50-50 ratio, and evolution is a natural process, then how could these purely right-handed DNA come about in the first place? Who separated out the left-handed and right-handed DNA? So what was going on there in that primordial soup? Normally one would think that it would produce the 50/50 mixture, not the pure one-handed forms needed for life Posted by Dan S de Merengue, Thursday, 10 June 2010 11:54:17 AM
