Here's a theory. There's a 1% genetic difference between clouds, jellyfish, and a watermelon. (THIS IS A SERIOUS STATEMENT/THEORY) Please, by all means... test it....
I'll announce the spoiler for you. A Jellyfish, a Cloud, and a Watermelon are all 99% water. That last 1% makes a LOT of difference.

He seems to ignore (or be ignorant of the fact) that genetic comparisons aren't arbitrary comparisons on percentage shared of a component. Genetic comparisons, in detail, show a clear record of common ancestry that can't be accounted for otherwise. The same can't be said for water content.
Yeah I was trying to ignore that, but I can't. There will be some impurities in clouds - pollutants and other particles assist in nucleation, which is one of the primary causes of global dimming, but clouds are over 99% water.

"Here's a theory."No, at best what you have here is a wild, baseless conjecture.
"There's a 1% genetic difference between clouds, jellyfish, and a watermelon."
That is ridiculous. To start with, clouds do not have genes. Then, I might point out that sea jellies are animals and watermelons are the fruit of a plant.
The 1% statistic was pulled directly from your butt.
"You don't have any (THIS IS A SERIOUS STATEMENT/THEORY) Please, by all means... test it...."
I don't have any what?
As I've already said, this is NOT a theory. If it is indeed a serious statement, then you are seriously stupid.
It is not up to me to test any of your wild ravings. The burden of proof is on s/he who makes the assertion. Go ahead, prove to us that clouds have their own DNA.
"I'll announce the spoiler for you. A Jellyfish, a Cloud, and a Watermelon are all 99% water."
So what? Ice, water and steam are all 100% water yet quite diferent.
You don't have any idea what "genetic" means, do you, Stuporsojo?
"That last 1% makes a LOT of difference."
Certainly, a 1% difference can make a huge difference. So what? Your statement that sea jellies' and watermelons' genetic make up differs by only 1% is untrue, and your adding clouds to your statement is even more laughable.
You're an idiot.
Papabear:The 1% statistic was pulled directly from your butt.
Exactly! In fact, that's where fundies store ALL of their information- up their asses. They jot down all of their wild biblical babble on paper, roll it up, and stick it up there.
Then, whenever a fundie is asked a perplexing question, he/she has the convenience of pulling an answer out of their ass!

OK, let's ...
There's a 1% genetic difference between clouds, jellyfish, and a watermelon.
The genetic difference between a jellyfish and a watermelon is way more than 1%. Clouds, of course, don't have genes.
A Jellyfish, a Cloud, and a Watermelon are all 99% water. That last 1% makes a LOT of difference.
A jellyfish is 95% water. A watermelon is 92%. Anyway, physical similarity is meaningless. The genetic difference between a bat and a bird is far more than the genetic difference between a bat and a human.
The "theory" fails.
Clouds are, um, nonliving. Except, of course, for Mr. Cloud Man, the eternal god! FEAR HIS WRATH!
UberLutheran -- Maybe rain is sperm from clouds and the clouds are just trying to mate with us. Always, I mean, always, wear a mac.
Papabear, that was gross, but hilarious.

The weird thing is that if supersojo's point were true, it would be an argument for evolution. Creationists are always insisting that a jellyfish and a watermelon couldn't have evolved from a common ancestor because they're too different. If they were really only 1% different genetically, that would make evolution even easier to explain.
Look, kid. I know you wanted to sound smart by using a big word like "genetic", but you obviously don't understand what the word means. In fact, if you replaced "genetic" with any noun, it would have made at least as much sense.
..too... darn... funny! It's eleven pm and i'm laughing so hard i woke up 3 housemates :) Thank you, everyone! (But most of all the fundies, for the original material. Comedians, the lot of them.)
Because, y'know, little things like genetic structure has NOTHING to do with it, whatsoever, right?
Will fundies please, please at least try to learn about a topic instead of hopelessly garbling whatever BS their pastor spoon-fed them?
I guess not. That would require thinking. Praying is much easier.

And here's a spoiler for you, Supersojo:
[spoiler]We humans share at least 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. That 98% means that Darwin was right all along. [/spoiler]
Here is Supersojo's (and every Creationist fundie's) current location:

no, no, clouds aren't living, they don't have genes, and watermelons are plants and are probablly less than 99% water.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
