Discussing the differences between an ancestral protein and one of the proteins belonging to a family descended from it is not “getting muddled up”. This is a critical point.
Once again, you’re going to have to demonstrate to me that coral have the same exact same endotoxin recognition pathways that humans do. In fact no one has studied what happens when corals are exposed to endotoxins. You’re fond of making massive, completely groundless assumptions and stating them as rock-solid fact.
And once again, fish do have endotoxin recognition. TLR4 (which is also not the only receptor involved in endotoxin response) is present in fish, and fish respond to endotoxin. The question is whether TL4 functions exactly the same in fish as it does in humans, and it appears it does not. All of this is completely beside the point, though, since coral don’t have TLR4 at all.
And no, no skipping has occurred.
Skipping has occurred because there is functionality in Coral that is not in Fish but is in Humans. Fish are skipped.
Yes, it’s true that Fish have TLR4, but TLR4 in Fish doesn’t function as endotoxin recognition and signaling...that genetic code behaves differently...which leaves Fish without much in the way of endotoxic functionality and raises the question of whether geneticists have left much undiscovered (and perhaps even some of what has been discovered has been gotten wrong, too) in the way DNA functions.
Maybe it’s not even all about proteins. The code may be more complex.
Code. Code skipping species. Code functionality gotten wrong...the Evolutionists of Today will be the laughing stock of tomorrow.
