8% of Your DNA Comes From a Virus

An anonymous reader writes "About 8 percent of human genetic material comes from a virus and not from our ancestors, according to an article by University of Texas at Arlington biology professor Cédric Feschotte, published in the Jan. 7, 2010 issue of Nature magazine."

I like what you did there: when in reference to attacks on Christianity, they were academic and/or verbal in nature. Then you use the exact same word in reference to someone being strapped to a torture rack.

Dishonest speech, it too loves religion.

Now to reiterate the point at which you called me a moron and still have not addressed.

So, there's a Christianity that didn't break away from the Catholic Church?

You really must answer this if you are going to assert that I do not understand the situation, or assert that 1/6th of the earth's population is not Catholic. But, no, your tact is to continue to berate me for being ignorant of your completely irrelevant bullshit. Your argument comes from insult at being grouped with Catholics, I say that association stands particularly well in this case.
