Hey Philo, check out this scientific paper:

http://www.ehbonline.org/article/PIIS109051380400100X/abstract

The title of which is: "Dairying barriers affect the distribution of lactose malabsorption" in which it is seen that extension of the expression of the lactase enzyme is seen well into gastric maturity (ie weaning) in populations of humans that have had histories of dairying and drinking milk. Whereas the "ancestral" condition is that lactase is "switched off" after weaning in other animals and populations of humans that have not historically kept dairy cattle.

Is that a loss of genetic information, or a functional gain that has helped European populations to survive? (I think I know which you will pick).

Ok West How about if I accept the Evolutionary theory, then I would submit an Hypothesis based on such principles that Nature will evolve into something else;

Well I would predict that within One Hundred to one hundred and fifty years that every living leftist (Proletariat Lobotomized) on the face of this earth;
That their offspring from hence forth will be bourn with out a brain, as Nature noted, they never used it anyway so Nature will save on genetic make up;
Hmmmmmmmm.
And yes, we better paint them with exterior paint, I don’t think the evolutionary process has caught up with Lab manufacturing yet, that is a little less complicated.
And we best get rid of that racist milk, we can not have any intolerance any more.

Evolutionary theory is fun; I like it.

West,
The longer human bowel is identified with the bowel of plant eating herbivores and is longer, unlike that of carnivors - Then why in the last 10,000 years and during the Ice age, while humans devoured mostly meat did not the bowel of humans shorten? Persons who now mostly devour a larger percentage of meat in their diets are more prone to bowel problems. Will this gene emerge to shorten the bowel - or will continual bowel surgery cause the gene to evolve change?

Philo, your information is incorrect.
Human’s stomachs produce hydrochloric acid (HCL), something not found in herbivores.
Our pancreas manufactures digestive enzymes to handle both animal and vegetable foods.

Human’s intestines are LONGER than animal carnivores and NOT AS LONG as herbivores.

Conclusion: We are mixed feeders or omnivores, much the same as gorilla’s and chimpanzees.

Human intestines are unique and flexible to adapt to a great range of basic diets. That’s why humans have survived for so long- we were able to digest the foods our environment had to offer us.

The extremely fast change in our diets over the last few decades, including high fat, highly processed, high sugar intake is a problem. Our digestive system cannot adapt at this speed. Never in history has our diet changed so dramatically and quickly. It is not surprising that food intolerance, diabetic or other digestive diseases are on the rise.

Philo you should read http://www.chu.cam.ac.uk/~ALRF/giintro.htm

Anyway this thread is getting into armchair genetics. The only relevant point is nature exists and evolution has been linked to nature. There has been no god proven to exist so it is utterly ridiculous to link anything with a god.

Without prior proof of god Intelligent design is a fabrication. The most important question we should be asking what is the motivation of ID pusher who conspire to brainwash our children with the nonesense of ID?

Celivia, If you are serious I’m sure if you ask Dr Katalin Nagy ; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Szeged University. ... Hungarian; any questions you may have , she would be glad to answer them for you ; She is a wonderful lady;
I will let you track her down, but here is her profile none the less.
If anything, it will be a lesson in word not common to the ear.

Besides you will not believe me.
