The footnotes are found at the end of the original article. Underlining is not found in the original article (it's the work of your humble poster).
Why post this article? It's presumably evidence of genes skipping over intermediate species. Very curious stuff.

Flies and worms and other bugs do share a lot of genes involving the basic biochemistry of life. It's just that some of the morphology stuff got "dropped".

Drosophila and Caenorhabditis are not our ancestors, and they're not intermediate species, they're way off on other branches of our family tree, branches that are likely at least 600 my long.
The common ancestor of corals and humans had the gene. That creature would also have been an ancestor of nematodes and arthropods. The gene was lost early in the lineage of nematodes and of arthropods, but retained in the primitive chordates. It's not the first example of this.

Not intermediate if segment into basic family groups: vertabrets, invertabrets and crustation/exoskeletal creature.

Maybe they're not intermediate. They're a separate lineage.

Why post this article?
Indeed! I will take this up at the annual meeting of Darwin Central Command (int), and it might mean we have to change our secret, conspiratory handshake to one you won't recongnize.

Conservation of design schemas, regardless of the notions of some who are the products of those schemas, as to how such things should be ordered over time.

Well, the creationists have said all along that the Theory of Evolution is a shell game.
