"He's correct about that, but only because I informed him of it. Ray-finned fish typically do have TLR-4..." - ahayes

You are such a liar. Here's proof: Southack informs ahayes of TLR-4 in Fish

Phooie, you have never succeeded in actually naming any of the genes present, in spite of my repeated requests. I tell you what genes and gene families are present and I tell you fish have TLR-4 and that pufferfish may not, providing a nifty reference in case you might want to look it up (which I know you don't or you wouldn't say such silly things).

And look! In the second post I tell you why evolutionists are not surprised to find TLR-4 having a different role in fish!

"This is something that is seen often throughout evolution--a gene used for one purpose eventually takes on a new one. We see the same thing with olfactory genes, many of which are expressed in sperm cells and probably used for chemotaxis."

And lest anyone should not read your link and be misinformed, I will demonstrate that your reading comprehension does not even allow you to understand your own posts.

I must have missed your source for TLR4-mediated endotoxin recognition and signaling in Fish (though I admit that you can point to most/all other TLR functions)...

You express doubt that TLR-4 is present and request evidence for its existence, which I provide in the next post. You were not informing me of anything, you were doubting the very thing you claim to have "informed" me of.

I will be more charitable and instead of saying you're a liar, as you told me, I will say you just misunderstood your own words. . .
