And how does a Creationist, thinking the way Danny Boy does, explain why:
1. some fungi, especially yeasts have a completely different pathway for the biosynthesis of lysine than that found in all other organisms.
2. they still retain some of the "regular" lysine gene sequences, that are apparently both degenerate and inactive.
Surely they would have the same pathway since the function (biosynthesis of lysine) should dictate the activity of the proteins. And they should have no vestiges of any of the "regular genes", since that would dictate gene products that apparently don't exist or are inactive. Maybe the designer realized he made a mistake and attempted to cover it up? And did a bad job while he was at it.
Apparently inactive?
Just a matter of turning them on?
Shouldn't be a problem.
