I don't know. I don't have access to the original paper and the synopsis doesn't say. In reality, it doesn't matter anyway.

The proteins were changed by changes in the gene. Also, determination of selection is based on the ratio between neutral changes and changes that result in effective differences.

I suspect it matters to you because you spent several posts deriding the study. It matters to us because the effort you invest in dismissing evolution, a foundational theory of science, needs to be based on scientific principles and genuine research. Your argument against the study in the article makes it obvious that you are ignorant of the elementary correspondence between a gene and a protein. The rest of your posts make it clear that you don't have a clue about much of science in general.

Here we go with more personal attacks.Anyone out there care to count up the number of personal attacks made against me by the evolutionists and those that I've made? I've been trying to engage in a meaningful discussion but there are those who obviously can't handle it.

If your'e going to claim that my "argument against the study in the article makes it obvious that you are ignorant of the elementary correspondence between a gene and a protein", then quote the errors in my argument and refute them.

If you're going to claim that I "don't have a clue about much of science in general", then get specific.

If these discussions could be constrained to what people actually say instead of what other people imagine they might think, and if we could refrain from personal attacks then maybe, just maybe, there would be some value in it all. I would respectfully ask those who cannot control themselves when they respond to not respond. I've been on this forum less than a week, and am thoroughly unimpressed with the lack of civility. Is the Free Republic nothing more than a place where people heap insults upon each other?
