You are right but the real problem with "what are the chances of getting XYZ right" is that it's the same type of question as "what are the chances of getting the right size legs to be able to stand on the ground" (Physicist's point?)

Exactly. The "right" gene length is the length between a "start" codon and a "stop" codon.

And there's a heck of a lot more than one way to skin a cat.

The Nile and Amazon are at least 5000 km long -- that's only 3000 miles.

God created the appearance of evolution just give the rumnots something to get high--off on!

So you're saying God is a trickster? Interesting ...

Are Prions the "right" length?

Sounds like f.Christian's God is a great guy, right? Lying and deceitful in an attempt to direct people away from Him? To separate the true believers from the evil non-believers?

Pick one. "Right" is your definition.

The host critter's point of view. Prion = "mushify my brain with BSE."

Are you reaching into your hat? Nothing up your sleeves?

Forbidden fruit?

Main Entry: pe·do·phil·ia
Pronunciation: "pE-d&-'fi-lE-&
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin
Date: 1906
: sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object
Evolution looks like a satanic cult abusing the mind of children and gullible adults!

God created children with...mind--bodies--sex organs---blame God?

I'll take that as a no. But it is the same length as the "good" protein, then "right" does not equal "good" (Which I interpret to signify "right").

A devastating argument against the proposition that getting the length right is one of the big, big hurdles. Do you want to tell gore or shall I?

But it is as devastating to random "fitness". Thermodyanmically it would appear as if the prion was the most stable form of the protein.

And perhaps you really should be put back on the geriatrics unit where they can change your diapers for you and make sure you take your anti-psychotic meds before you take a nappy-wappy? :D

I always understood that the first sin was lying ("Did not the Lord say...?"). I'm puzzled at your willingness to attribute lying to God.

Thermodynamically, we shouldn't be here. There is more going on than little elastic balls clacking around.
