Attack of the Theocrats!
So let me get this straight... Axe switches out a few components of a protien that forms naturally and is suprised when it doesn't work the same way? This is rediculous. I get really frustrated hearing people talking about chance and probability. "It is a 1 in 10^150 chance of (insert naturally occuring specimen here) happening by chance. Thus it was designed." How many times do these ideas need to be shot down, debunked, and proven wrong before they get the point?
Of course, they are both advocates of ID and work for the "Discovery" Institute. .. What a misleading name. What "discoveries" have they made besides formulating a series of fallacious claims and saying that it must have been designed if they don't understand how it worked?
Just my thoughts.
