Thanks, but I'm not certain that everyone understands that fact...

Still waiting for the responses to myriad questions regarding early chemistry and DNA precursors. Why won't you answer them? You haven't mentioned "selection pressures" in over 100 posts - I wonder why?

And there's still my 169.

If they don't, they do not understand basic molecular biology.

The properties of the genetic code were determined prior to the specifics by mathematical analysis of the known properties of proteins and nucleic acids.

It was determined it must be a triplet code using a a mathematical analysis before the first codon was identified.

Mathematical analysis is interwined with molecular biology from the beginning.

Look at Mendel, his stuff was all mathematical and based on the analysis of his peas.
