Endogenous Retroviruses = Proof of Evolution?

Is it infinitely unlikely that we would share stuff like endogenous retroviruses which randomly insert into the host's genome, why we would share seven of the exact same retroviruses with chimps, bonobos etc.., inserted into the exact same location in the genome, out of 3 billion base pairs, if we didn't share a common ancestor?
There are also random mutations (redundant pseudogenes) that we share with chimps as well such as both having the GLO gene(which syntheses its own vitamin C) switched off which is why we have to ingest it.

Some would say the evidence for evolution is overwhelming for those who want to actually look for it.

Some scientists have found such endogenous retroviruses to be necessary to life.

"Many scientists believed these endogenous retroviruses were junk DNA, he said."  Strange, but of the scientists I know who believe in creation, whether botanists, chemists, physicists, none of them ever jumped to that incorrect conclusion.

By that, you mean, times like these when the theory of evolution predicts something (like junk DNA in the form of ERVs) which turns out to be false, and the facts are exactly as it would have been expected all along from a creation point of view, that these things are there because they serve a purpose, a purpose which simply had been difficult to discover because Jehovah is so much more intelligent than we are?

    • Should Christians place greater trust in human-created philosophies or should a genuine Christian ground their desires from the scriptural perspective on the frailties of the mind and body? Psychology often falls short when it clashes with personal beliefs, regardless of the intentions behind it. James 1:14, Romans 12: 2 It also acts as a guide to clarify misconceptions, such as labeling "shunning" as an evil act rather than recognizing it as a corrective measure or a personal choice. This suggests a misunderstanding on the part of experts, more so than scholars, regarding psychological matters. The forum is structured around Christian ethics.
    • https://phcworld.com/category/health-and-wellness/ The Dendera Zodiac is a fascinating ancient Egyptian artifact that holds significant historical and astronomical value. Discovered in the Hathor Temple at Dendera, it is a carved bas-relief dating back to the Roman period of Egypt, around 50 BCE. This intricate depiction of the night sky features a circular representation of constellations and celestial bodies, showcasing the ancient Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy. The Dendera Zodiac is notable for its detailed depiction of zodiac signs, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and others. It also includes images of deities and mythological figures associated with these constellations. The artifact offers valuable insights into how the ancient Egyptians viewed the cosmos and how they integrated their religious and mythological beliefs with their understanding of the stars. Despite its importance, the Dendera Zodiac has been the subject of various interpretations and theories regarding its exact purpose and symbolism. Its rich artistry and complex design continue to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike, making it a key piece in the study of ancient Egyptian science and religion.

    • The statement "A (cigarette) pack a day keeps lung cancer away" is completely false and misleading. In reality, smoking a pack of cigarettes a day significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer, along with many other serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and respiratory illnesses. Smoking is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, and quitting or avoiding smoking altogether is the best way to reduce your risk.
