What a scientist assumes is of no consequence. What counts is the evidence discovered. Let's look at the link showing why Hartwell got the Nobel Prize and why I gave the link as evidence of design:

Leland Hartwell (born 1939), Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, USA, is awarded for his discoveries of a specific class of genes that control the cell cycle. One of these genes called "start" was found to have a central role in controlling the first step of each cell cycle. Hartwell also introduced the concept "checkpoint", a valuable aid to understanding the cell cycle.

As the above shows, a gene, to function properly, requires other DNA to control it, tell it to function, tell it how much protein to produce and when to start and stop. Now a gene without this additional DNA would not operate period. Therefore to have even a simple new function, you require (as I have been saying all along) more than one mutation. Indeed it requires quite a few mutations working together for it to work. This makes evolution utterly impossible and proves intelligent design.

G3K: As the above shows, a gene, to function properly, requires other DNA to control it, tell it to function, tell it how much protein to produce and when to start and stop.

Indeed it requires quite a few mutations working together for it to work. This makes evolution utterly impossible and proves intelligent design.

And as I have been saying all along, you're postings are rubbish. Again, I post Hartwell's own words describing his current work:

My laboratory is beginning a new research program aimed at studying how molecular circuits support evolution. Evolution acts through selection of preexisting genetic variation in populations.
If he'd "disproved" evolution, as you keep insisting, why is he bothering to study "how molecular circuits support evolution"? These are the man's own words! If you are right, he's either a liar or an incompetent. Which is it?
