  • Seriously TP, a physicist has a much easier time documenting evidence for both lightspeed and its constancy within a small range than does a biologist who must defend OOL and account for the evolution of systems like the pentose phosphate pathway or mismatch and base excision repair pathways or the genetic code or the evolution of mechanisms designed to react to positive supercoils that result from the separation of the DNA double helix.

  • Right after you explain why one would need to invoke "The capacity to evolve a protein complex inducing supercoils prior to the evolution of helical DNA or failing that, a functional DNA helix lacking the cited proteins."
